Some stories of resilience are too powerful to ignore. When survivors of domestic violence rise above their past and turn pain into purpose, they inspire change in ways that ripple far beyond their own lives. This April, you have the chance to be part of an evening that honors that strength and helps create a safer future.
The 4th annual Faces of Courage benefit gala is happening at the Boise Centre ballroom and will feature an unforgettable night of storytelling, fundraising, and advocacy. This year’s keynote speaker, Katrina Brownlee, is a survivor who turned tragedy into triumph—becoming one of NYPD’s highest-ranking detectives and dedicating her life to mentoring at-risk young women.
Your support can make a real difference in the lives of domestic abuse survivors. Register here to attend and stand for a safer Treasure Valley!
The 4th annual Faces of Courage benefit gala is coming up on Friday, April 11, 2025, at 5:30 PM in the Boise Centre ballroom! This year’s inspiring evening will feature stories of resilience, critical fundraising, and keynote speaker Katrina Brownlee.
A survivor of domestic violence, Katrina overcame unimaginable challenges after being shot 10 times by her abusive fiancé, a correction officer shielded by his badge. She defied the odds, relearned to walk, exited homelessness, and joined the NYPD to reform the system from within, retiring as one of its highest-ranking detectives. Today, she mentors at-risk young women through her nonprofit Young Ladies of Our Future and shares her journey in her upcoming memoir, And Then Came The Blues.
