The mission of Skagit Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Services is to end domestic violence and sexual assault in our community through empowerment, advocacy, education, awareness and prevention.
We provide services to any victim of domestic violence or sexual assault, recent or past. We also assist family members and friends of those who have been assaulted or abused.
Join us Saturday, October 14th for a formal evening of Classic Hollywood glamour with friends old and new!
With your support we provide confidential services, including crisis intervention, emergency shelter, advocacy-based counseling, legal, medical and social services advocacy, support groups, children’s advocacy and community education and prevention!
We have a wonderful evening in store! You will enjoy fine dining, a dessert dash... a few laughs and possible tears. With live auction packages worth fighting over and basket raffle prizes- your odds of winning are good!
All prize bids are made in-person at the Swinomish Casino Walton Center, October 14th.
