GLIMMER OF HOPE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2021
The Dubuque YMCA/YWCA is hosting their 16th annual fundraising event on Thursday, October 21, 2021 from 5:30-7:00pm at the Dubuque Golf & Country Club (1800 Randall Pl, Dubuque, IA 52003).
All event proceeds support their Victim Services Shelter – an eight-room, 20-bed shelter for those who are fleeing a life of domestic violence, human sex trafficking, or sexual assault.
Browse the silent auction items now and place your bids through 6:40PM on 10/21!
Live auction items with in-person event bidding are: Four night stay at a Colorado cabin, American Lady dinner cruise for 8 with $150 toward dinner and drinks, Galena Airbnb two night stay with a $100 Log Cabin Steakhouse gift card, 30+ bottles of wine and treats, Behind the Scenes VIP Tour of the Dubuque Airport for 5, and three different golf foursomes with carts!
Music before the event will be played by Joie Wails. Our short but impactful program will feature a few words from domestic violence survivor, Rachel, and inspirational takeaways from keynote speaker, Matt Booth.
For some, it takes months, and for others, it takes years to reach out for help when leaving a domestic violence, human sex trafficking, or sexual assault situation. From the moment a client and their children step foot in our shelter they are shown nothing but love, respect, and dignity. Though the journey is tough, our staff ensure they find the best pathway out of their situation, feeling empowered and excited about new life opportunities.
