Join us in celebrating the resiliency of sexual and domestic abuse survivors at Riverview Center's Evening of Light. 

The event features Chanel Miller, who was previously known as 'Emily Doe' until she read her victim impact statement at Brock Turner's sentencing. Her statement went viral and compelled thousands to speak up.



The night begins with a cocktail hour where auction items from local businesses are showcased, followed by dinner, a representation of Riverview Center services, and the inspiring keynote speaker.

Reach out to HeidiZ@riverviewcenter.org with questions.

Each year there are more than 178,000 alcohol-related deaths, making alcohol a leading preventable cause of death in the United States. More than 200 disease and injury-related conditions are associated with alcohol misuse.
