It was an extraordinary evening of compassion and impact as supporters gathered at Georgetown’s historic City Tavern Club for the Anchor Fund’s annual benefit. This record-breaking night raised more than $300,000 in emergency funding to support local survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence.
One of the evening’s most moving moments came when a beneficiary courageously and spontaneously took the stage to share her story. Her words silenced the room and moved every person present — there was not a dry eye in sight. Her strength and bravery embody the very mission of the Anchor Fund: to ensure that no survivor faces crisis alone.
The night served as a powerful reminder of what’s possible when community and compassion unite.
