2012 Presented by GE with the support of John and Cammie Rice

Background:	The first Hearts with Hope gala was held on February 14, 1988 when PADV was still the Council on Battered Women. Its purpose remains the same, to raise significant monies to support battered women and their children, and bring metro Atlanta citizens together to end domestic violence and celebrate survivors. Hearts with Hope is the primary fundraiser & stewardship event for PADV.
