Honor a Survivor

Every Story Matters. Every Survivor Deserves to Be Celebrated.

Each year during the VOTUS Purple Tie Gala, we honor three extraordinary survivors whose courage, resilience, and unwavering strength inspire hope throughout our community.

These remarkable individuals remind us that healing is possible, purpose can emerge from pain, and life after abuse can be filled with hope and impact.

Whether you are nominating someone whose journey deserves recognition or you have been selected as one of this year's honorees, we are honored to celebrate you.

Why VOTUS Honors Survivors

At VOTUS, we believe survivors deserve more than recognition—they deserve celebration.

Our Survivor Honorees are selected because they have demonstrated remarkable courage, perseverance, and a commitment to moving from survival to sovereignty. Through their stories, they inspire others to believe that healing is possible and that no one has to walk their journey alone.

"He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners."

Isaiah 61:1
