Attend Our Annual Fundraising Gala!

Family Violence Project invites you to the third annual Paint the Town Purple Gala, a fundraising event to support survivors of domestic abuse.

 

Join us on Friday, October 24 at the Augusta Elks Lodge, 397 Civic Center Drive, Augusta, Maine. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Enjoy dinner, awards, a silent auction, dancing, and live music by the Pat Pepin Project.

Guests are encouraged to wear purple formal attire to show solidarity, though it is not required.

This evening is more than a fundraiser. It is a time to stand together as a community, honor the strength of survivors, and raise awareness about domestic violence. Your participation helps ensure vital services continue for those in need.​​​
