Thrive
This year, the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence (ACESDV) celebrates 44 years of working to eliminate violence in Arizona communities by providing education and training, public policy advocacy, and public awareness. Alongside their essential Sexual and Domestic Violence Services Helpline, ACESDV will host the annual Thrive Event – A Celebration of Strength and Resilience on Friday, November 8th, 2024.
The Thrive Event, the only event of its kind in Arizona, is designed to uplift survivors and honor advocates and allies. It aims to raise funds to support ACESDV’s prevention, advocacy, and education efforts in line with their mission to end sexual and domestic violence in Arizona while dismantling oppression and promoting equity.
By participating in the Thrive event, guests join a community of individuals committed to creating positive change and supporting survivors. The Thrive event serves as a powerful reminder of the collective efforts needed to build a future free from violence and oppression.
Stay tuned for further updates and ticket information as the event approaches. We look forward to welcoming you to the next Thrive event!
