Golden Age of Hollywood Gala

Classic Hollywood cinema—from the talkies in the late 1920s to the early 1960s—is often considered the golden age of Hollywood. It's full of iconic styles, moments, and stars during a time when glitz and glamour reigned.

Step back in time with us and enjoy an evening of extravagance, with dinner, drinks, dancing, and fun supporting a great cause.

All money raised during this event will support Abie's Haven—Fort Wayne's first short-term crisis home for women and children escaping domestic and sexual violence.

About Jennifer's Harbor

Jennifer's Harbor is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women and children who have experienced domestic and/or sexual violence. Founded by a survivor of abuse, the organization is driven by a deep commitment to helping other survivors recognize their inherent worth, understand how loved they are, and realize their strength. Jennifer's Harbor offers a comprehensive array of services designed to foster healing and holistic well-being.

The cornerstone of their support system includes one-on-one life coaching, which provides personalized guidance to help individuals navigate their unique paths to recovery. In addition, Jennifer's Harbor offers group support programs that create a safe space for survivors to share their experiences and gain strength from one another. Understanding the importance of family in the healing process, the organization also provides family programs aimed at restoring and strengthening familial bonds, and changing the statistics surrounding abuse.

Each year, Jennifer's Harbor hosts an annual retreat, a pivotal event that offers survivors a chance to step away from their daily challenges and immerse themselves in an environment of peace, love, reflection, and rejuvenation. This retreat is an opportunity for deep healing and personal growth, facilitated by a supportive community of peers and professionals.

Beyond direct support to survivors, Jennifer's Harbor is actively involved in community education and events. These initiatives are designed to raise awareness about domestic and sexual violence, educate the public on the signs and effects of abuse, and promote prevention strategies. The organization’s outreach efforts are integral to its mission, aiming to foster a more informed and supportive community.

The operations at Jennifer's Harbor are powered by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, many of whom are survivors themselves or are passionate advocates for abuse survivors. This blend of professional expertise and personal experience creates a uniquely empathetic and effective support network.

Through its multifaceted programs and unwavering commitment, Jennifer's Harbor strives to transform the lives of survivors, guiding them towards a new life filled with healing, strength, and holistic well-being.
