Courage in Bloom is Our Voice’s annual fundraising event bringing our community together for an evening of connection, speakers who reflect the heart of our work, a shared meal, an auction, meaningful conversation, and lots of fun in support of survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking.
The theme of this year’s event is Our Voice’s impact in the community. Speakers will include local and state elected representatives and local business owners who have been directly impacted by Our Voice’s services or who have partnered with us to support survivors. Together, they will speak to the real and lasting difference this work makes in Buncombe County and across Western North Carolina.
Courage in Bloom Auction
Join us in supporting survivors through this year’s live and silent auction. Each item has been generously donated by community partners, and every bid helps ensure that survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking have access to free, trauma informed support.
