Join us for the 17th Annual Fresh Start
Saturday, September 19, 2026 • 5 pm to 12 am • The Compton Bentonville

Celebrate 40 years of Northwest Arkansas Women’s Shelter at “the most fun fundraiser in Northwest Arkansas.” This unforgettable evening of vintage glamour and gaming honors the courage of our clients while raising critical funds to sustain the life-changing programs and services of NWAWS.

Wager the night away at the classic casino tables like poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps with your included gaming chips. Also enjoy complimentary wine and beer, heavy hors d’oeuvres, a jam-packed silent auction, and more.

This year promises to be our best yet at The Compton, a stunning new hotel in downtown Bentonville. When the gaming wraps up, dance the night away in style at our brand-new after party from 9 PM to midnight. It's sure to be an amazing evening! Join us for an incredible night of fun and generosity, because when our community comes together, survivors find safety, hope, and a path forward.
