Columbia Set to Host 9th Annual Purple Gala to Support Domestic Violence Survivors

COLUMBIA, S.C. – A Special Night to Honor and Empower

This weekend, Columbia is buzzing with excitement and purpose as one non-profit organization is gearing up for a truly impactful event. The 9th Annual Purple Gala, organized by She Did That Events, LLC, promises to be a night full of heart and hope. Set to take place this Saturday at 7 p.m. at the charming Venue817 on St. Andrews Road, this gala is not just another night out; it’s a celebration of resilience and a much-needed call to action against domestic violence.

What to Expect at the Gala

Attendees of the gala can look forward to an evening packed with excitement and inspiration. This year’s theme centers around honoring survivors and victims of domestic violence, making it a poignant occasion for everyone involved. Guests can enjoy live music that sets the tone for a lively atmosphere, alongside thought-provoking speeches from guest speakers who are passionate about the cause.

The gala does more than just provide an entertaining night; it serves a crucial purpose.

Every ticket sold helps to ensure that resources are available for those affected by domestic violence, demonstrating that every little contribution adds up to create substantial change.

The brunch is free for all to attend, but an RSVP is required to ensure the best experience for everyone. If you feel inspired to attend, simply give a call to 803-814-5173 to reserve your spot.
