A powerful night of community, compassion, and purpose is coming back to Evansville this spring, and it’s all about supporting survivors right here at home.

The Albion Fellows Bacon Center will host its annual Evening of Hope Gala on Friday, April 17, at The Bauerhaus. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the evening officially beginning at 6:00 p.m.

What The Evening Of Hope Gala Supports

This isn’t just a night out. It’s a direct investment in life-changing services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence across southern Indiana.

Funds raised during the gala help provide emergency shelter, advocacy, counseling, and prevention education across 11 counties. Every ticket, bid, and donation supports programs that give survivors safety, stability, and a path forward.
