Launch Party for ‘A Masked Ball to Unmask Domestic Violence’

The National Domestic Violence Hotline turns 20 this year, and the anniversary will be marked in San Francisco this Fall by ‘A Masked Ball to Unmask Domestic Violence.’

Supporters recently gathered at Caldwell Snyder Gallery to celebrate the upcoming event, with sponsors Rotari Wines and Credo Catering.

The ball will take place in the famous Julia Morgan Ballroom in San Francisco’s Financial District and includes a gourmet dinner, live auction, and a performance from Franc D’Ambrosio, the longest running Phantom of the Opera. All proceeds will aid the Hotline.

Established in 1996, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 and gives confidential, free, and often life-saving support and means to assist people in immediate need.

Survivors and victims in need can speak (or chat) with a trained advocate online at www.thehotline.org or by calling 1-800-799-SAFE(7233).
