The 25th Annual Hearts with Hope Gala, presented by Verizon, was led by some of Atlanta’s biggest and brightest leaders in the community. This Black Tie event was dedicated to celebrating and continuing Partnership Against Domestic Violence’s incredible legacy of support, empowerment and love throughout Metro Atlanta and raised more than $600,000 to support PADV’s programs and services.

The Gala was attended by nearly 500 guests who were entertained by the culinary styling of The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead, a cocktail hour, a live and silent auction, special performance by recording artist Darlene McCoy and US BEAT on hand to entertain into the night.  The event also honored the 25 most influential individuals that have helped make the Partnership what it is today.

Special thanks to all of our sponsors, supporters and attendees that helped to make this year’s Gala a success.
