Global domestic violence nonprofit Unsilenced Voices (UV) and RayCo Media (RayCo) proudly present A Blanket of Hope: Survivor to Thriver, a free community luncheon in Las Vegas Monday, May 23. UV will bring immediate assistance to abuse survivors; educate the public on building safer communities; and invite fellow organizations to collaborate through volunteerism, donation, or sponsorship.
Singer Sage Waters will perform live. UV Founder Michelle Jewsbury will speak on her own journey from abuse survivor to international philanthropist and how, together, we can build a safer world.
“We’re so grateful to our generous corporate sponsors and local partners for helping us end the pain and suffering brought by domestic abuse”, says Jewsbury. “We hope survivors in Las Vegas will come out and bravely choose the path to liberation.”
UV has partnered with Scars of Survival Magazine as the media partner for A Blanket of Hope. The event is sponsored by ExpertTalk, Ignite Business Acceleration Group, and Lara Portelli. Other local partners include The Shade Tree, Southern Nevada Family Justice Center, the Embracing Project, and The Cupcake Girls.
“The Cupcake Girls is so honored to help provide a safe space for survivors to feel heard, seen, and empowered”, says Events Director Mai Tran. Adds Linda Perez, CEO of The Shade Tree, “We all share a passion for providing hope and turning survivors into thrivers!”
Las Vegas is the second stop along UV’s national tour, followed by Los Angeles, Tampa, and Montclair, NJ.
Unsilenced Voices has gifted $32,000 to 26 survivors in the USA in grants and subsidaries in their first few months in America. "We are working diligently to impact Africa, the USA and beyond." -Michelle Jewsbury, CEO Unsilenced Voices
