The evening begins with the “In Her Shoes” experience—a powerful, immersive journey that highlights a survivor’s real-life story. This impactful experience sets the tone for the night and underscores the mission of the Wichita Family Crisis Center.

Hope Gala Highlights:

  • An exciting silent and live auction featuring a variety of unique items
  • A new twist on our Golden Ticket raffle—the Golden Key! With only 100 keys available, one lucky guest will unlock the Golden Door to claim the grand prize
  • delicious plated dinner accompanied by a moving program featuring Miss Kansas, Alexis Smith, a survivor and advocate for healthy relationships
  • A grooving after-party to close out the evening on a high note
We look forward to sharing this unforgettable night with you!
