Date: May 15

Join us for Younity’s most anticipated event of the year—an unforgettable evening filled with inspiration, connection, and a shared commitment to building a future free from domestic and sexual violence.

Why It Matters

Each year, the Annual Awards Dinner brings together changemakers, advocates, and supporters to recognize individuals and organizations who are creating lasting change in the fight against domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.

Your support fuels Younity’s life-saving services for victim-survivors and families across Mercer County. Together, we celebrate courage, amplify community, and invest in healing.

  • Gain premium exposure to a values-driven audience of leaders and advocates
  • Showcase your organization’s dedication to social impact
  • Receive exclusive benefits like VIP seating and recognition
