LAUREL HOUSE EVENTS
Laurel House events are an opportunity to connect with community members, fundraise for our lifesaving programs and services, and raise awareness about domestic violence. Laurel House hosts several events throughout the year, and attends events hosted by local businesses and community groups. Take a moment to learn about our four main events:
Annual Gala
The Gala is a fabulous evening of dining and dancing along with the opportunity to learn more about the mission of Laurel House. This event is our largest fundraiser, and the proceeds support Laurel House’s programs for victims of domestic violence. This year's event was an opportunity to honor Angela Ko, our Board Treasurer, and TD Bank, one of our longest standing community partners.

Breaking the Silence
Since 2003, Breaking the Silence has been Laurel House's most mission-driven event. Each year, Laurel House hosts Breaking the Silence to shine a light on a particular aspect of domestic violence, while raising critical funding for our most vital support services. This year's breakfast will be dedicated to strengthening the bridge between healthcare and survivor safety. We are coming together to explore how the medical community serves as a vital lifeline, transforming clinical settings into spaces of advocacy, healing, and immediate support.

Walk A Mile
Originally a third-party event hosted by a local group to support Laurel House, Walk A Mile (WAM) became an official Laurel House event in 2015. Whether you walk in the classic high heels that WAM is known for or take to the pavement in regular sneakers, this event is an opportunity to honor the survivors in your life and community.
Last year's event marked 10 years of Walk A Mile and was our largest walk to date with over 450 participants! Traditionally held in May, this year's Walk A Mile is moving to October to honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Shifting Spaces Art Show
The Shifting Spaces Art Show is a collaborative event we host with Victim Services Center of Montgomery County during Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.
Know a student looking to help in the fight against domestic violence? The Shifting Spaces Art Show is an opportunity to spread positive messaging about healthy relationships and influence friends, family, and more to value respect, safety, and trust in relationships.
