Hunks in Heels is an annual fundraiser for Iva’s Place: a non-profit that provides services for victims of domestic abuse.

Our Hunk In Heels Fundraiser will once again prove to be an insightful and lighthearted event to bring awareness to the community as community members “set up, shoe up, and speak up” on behalf of abuse victims and their children, the effects that domestic violence has and the remedies offered through our program.

$1 = 1 vote and 100% of the proceeds benefit Iva’s Place!

January 30th, 2025 the Hunks take the stage to catwalk for the title!

The event includes dinner, entertainment, a silent auction, and more!

Iva’s Place is a 501c3 nonprofit that has provided services, advocacy, and placement to victims of domestic violence. Iva’s Place provides support, advocacy, and accompaniment for all victims of domestic violence being served through our Safe Haven Shelter, Transitional Apartments, and Transitional Housing Programs. Our mission statement “To provide a comprehensive system of support to victims of domestic violence” is accomplished through our multi-levels of care and the services provided at each level of care.

Iva’s Place serves victims of domestic violence in the following ways: Emergency placement through our Safe Haven Shelter, Crisis Intervention, 24 Crisis Hotline, Transportation, Legal Advocacy and Court Accompaniment, Life-skills and Educational Classes, Medical transportation and advocacy, Academic and Educational Institutional advocacy, Educational and supportive activities for children, Education and support groups for adult and child victims of sexual assault/incest and domestic violence receiving services through our Safe Haven Shelter, Evidence-based, trauma-informed Therapy to victims of domestic violence and childhood trauma, Community-based referrals and information. Through our Transitional Housing Program, we can provide housing, for a period of up to 24 months, to families that have been forced to relocate due to domestic violence. These families have access to the same services offered to families being served through our Safe Haven Shelter, must participate in monthly program requirements, must fall within the HUD income guidelines, and have a financial stream as the Transitional properties carry monthly fiscal responsibilities.

Iva’s Place conducts community outreach by providing information and referrals to community agencies, conducts professional and volunteer trainings, and provides community-based presentations on the definition of Domestic Violence, the prevalence of Domestic Violence, how communities can work together to address Domestic Violence, the importance of partnering with law enforcement, red flag behaviors of an unhealthy relationship and where to go for help if ever in a relationship with an abuser.
