The SAFE Alliance held its annual fundraising event to support their mission, Stop Abuse For Everyone. The theme of the night was Joy De Vivre, or the Joy of Life, celebrating all the joy of life that is possible after abuse. Guests were transported to Paris with stunning visuals of a French bistro, flowers everywhere, and even an Eiffel Tower. From mimes, to live poetry, and aerialists, it was an evening full of fun and whimsy. The night ended with a giant afterparty with live music from Love & Happiness and a swanky speakeasy with smooth cigars and even smoother jazz. The event was tres chic and an immense success for The SAFE Alliance.

Amount raised: over $900,000
