Join us for Breakfast of Brilliance!
May
28

Join us for Breakfast of Brilliance!

The Center for Women and Families will host its signature event, Breakfast of Brilliance, on May 28, 2025, from 8 – 10 a.m., at The Foundry in Jeffersonville, Indiana. This inspiring gathering will champion our mission across nine counties in Kentucky and Southern Indiana, empowering victims of intimate partner violence and sexual assault to transform their lives as survivors.

During this year’s breakfast, we will shine a light on our legal advocacy program, a lifeline for survivors. This program provides clarity on legal rights, guidance through the justice system, and access to transformative services that foster healing, resilience, and hope. We will also delve into the pivotal role of the legal community—law enforcement, attorneys, and judges—in standing alongside survivors and ensuring accountability for those who harm.

The Center will also celebrate the Volunteer of The Year for the southern Indiana location.

Start your day with a delicious breakfast and the knowledge that your good deed will help others to rebuild their lives.

To get your ticket(s) or learn about sponsorship opportunities, please visit our Breakfast of Brilliance web page here.
