The Ion Center for Violence Prevention is celebrating 50 years.
For five decades, the Ion Center has worked to support individuals impacted by power-based personal violence and to create a safer community for all. The Ion Center offers free, confidential 24/7 work.
On October 30th, Ion Center will host its biggest fundraiser of the year, the Toast for Hope 50th Anniversary Golden Gala.
The event will be held at The Newport Car Barn, 6:30 p.m., October 30.
Toast for Hope will include live music by The Chuck Taylors, open bar, food stations, auction, games, and more! It will be a fun-filled evening in celebration of the important work of the Ion Center, while also honoring all of those who have bravely walked through our doors.
Ion Center couldn’t do this important work without the community and all the corporate and community partners that have supported us along the way.
Celebrate at the Toast for Hope 50th Anniversary Golden Gala. Purchase tickets or tables here.
