Jazz musicians from Can’t Count Trio will perform throughout the evening. Dinner entrée options include either strip steak, parmesan panko crusted haddock, or pasta pomodoro. In a special presentation, a trafficked survivor will offer a brief synopsis of her experience, recovery, and plans for the future. Raffles and fundraisers will be available throughout the evening. Formal attire is requested, with black tie optional.

“The Gala is our signature event of the year,” said Deborah Kuehner, Executive Director and Founder of the Potter’s Hands Foundation. “Human trafficking is well kept secret. Sometimes we whisper about it. Often we assume that it happens somewhere else to people we don’t know. Attending our Gala is a powerful signal that you know trafficking is real. You know it is an issue. And you want to be part of the solution. I look forward to seeing you.”
