Partnership Against Domestic Violence Raises over $580,000!

Partnership Against Domestic Violence raised over $580,000 at the Annual Hearts with Hope Gala on May 2nd. The night, which was derby themed, honored those who have been affected by domestic violence.

Thanks to the generosity of those in attendance all the funds raised will go towards PADV’s general operating budget which continues to provide vital services to women and children affected by domestic violence free of charge.

PADV is the largest nonprofit domestic violence agency in Georgia, serving Atlanta since 1975. They have shelters in Fulton County and Gwinnett County that have served over 20,000 women and children.

The gala, sponsored by Verizon Wireless was hosted by B98.5’s Jordan Graye and chaired by Primerica’s executive vice president and chief financial officer Allison Rand. The evening honored new members into the Legacy Society, a group comprised of outstanding individuals who have dedicated their support and resources to shape PADV. The 2015 class included, David Midler, Lisa Winton and 12Stone Church.

The 27th Hearts with Hope Gala hosted dancing, dinner, drinks and silent and live auctions where guests had the opportunity to bid on items such as a 21 person vacation to an Italian Villa and a VIP Atlanta Falcons fan experience.

The gala took place at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead and hosted Atlanta’s most prominent individuals and top business executives. For more information, visit padv.org or follow PADV on Facebook at facebook.com/PADVAtlanta and Twitter at @PADVAtlanta.
