Thrive Event Overview

ThriveLogoBlack

For over 35 years, the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence (ACESDV) has been working to eliminate violence in Arizona communities. ACESDV fulfills our mission by providing coordination, training and expert consultation to more than 40 sexual and domestic violence programs, as well as advocating for victim safety and offender accountability throughout the state.

On Saturday, May 11, 2019 at The Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch ACESDV will present the ninth annual Thrive Gala and Awards Dinner. The only one of its kind in Arizona, the Thrive Gala is designed to honor and celebrate sexual and domestic violence survivors, advocates, and allies. The evening includes a cocktail reception with a unique silent auction and raffle experience, dinner, the presentation of the state’s only awards for survivors and those working to address sexual and domestic violence, with live entertainment and dancing!
