Peace Place 12th Annual Ball: A Celebration of Lights

On Saturday, February 16, 2013, Peace Place, Inc. will hold its 12th Annual Ball, A Celebration of Lights.  The Ball includes a dinner buffet catered by Cornbread and Caviar, live musical entertainment by "Shaken Not Stirred", dancing, and a silent auction.  The event begins at 6:30pm at the Winder Community Center in Winder, GA. 


Tickets for the event are $60 each or $500 for a table of eight.  Procuring a table earns the person or business the honor of being announced as an event sponsor and all event sponsors will receive a special gift.  All proceeds from the Ball and silent auction will support the victims and survivors of domestic violence who utilize the services and programs provided by Peace Place.  This includes those in shelter, in transitional housing, and being served through outreach programs.  The majority of our clients are from Barrow, Banks, and Jackson counties.    


Peace Place is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that provides shelter for victims of domestic violence.  Since our opening in June of 2000, over 1,900 women, children and men have been sheltered by Peace Place.  Our shelter not only offers a safe, confidential place to live, but provides counseling, employment assistance, legal advocacy, and support.
