Thank you to all our generous donors, sponsors, guests, staff and volunteers who helped make this a successful event! Funds raised at the event, held at the Hilton Vancouver Washington, will go to support prevention education as well as life-changing services for victims of child abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault and homelessness.

Guests--many costumed as rock stars or "groupies"--had fun watching Hollie Vest, a Tina Turner impersonator, and a performance by the “First Independent Rockstar Divas,” who portrayed famous female rock stars. (See their photo below.) Guests also enjoyed “fun stations” including Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero and a free photo booth. Raffle items including a men’s Giantto watch from Erik Runyan Jewelers, tickets to Tim McGraw's concert at the Amphitheater at Clark County, and a swag bag put together by Dawn Stanchfield of Lily Atelier in Camas were popular.
