Black Dress Gala presented by Nixon Wenger

A Night to Remember

The 11th Annual Black Dress Gala presented by Nixon Wenger LLP at Prestige Vernon Lodge was an incredible success! An evening of extraordinary community, elegant style, outstanding entertainment, and impactful connection as guests gathered to celebrate resilience, hope, and positive change.

As Archway Society for Domestic Peace’s signature fundraising celebration, Black Dress brought together more than 350 community members in support of women, children, and families impacted by violence.

Thank YOU for helping to make an impact that will last long past this event.
