The Sexual Assault Resource Center is hosting its fifth annual “An Evening Under the Stars” gala on September 15th at the Texas A&M Hotel and Conference Center. There are many ways to support survivors of sexual violence in the Brazos Valley in the week leading up to the event.
Based on ticket sales and table sponsorships, over 400 people are expected to attend the gala at the Texas A&M Hotel and Conference Center. The event brings together people to dine, dance, celebrate, and raise money to support the Sexual Assault Resource Center (SARC).
The private, non-profit serves survivors of sexual violence across the Brazos Valley from Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson and Washington Counties.
“This year, we are celebrating our 40th anniversary at our gala,” said Lindsey LeBlanc, SARC Executive Director. “40 years of serving survivors is a huge feat. With the continued unprecedented demand in services over the last two years, we need the community’s support to continue serving survivors every day.”
Visit the SARC event website to check ticket and table availability- there are currently a few dozen tickets remaining. Even if you cannot attend, now is still a great time to support SARC’s efforts to eliminate sexual violence and serve survivors. From raffle prizes, t-shirts, and silent auctions, you can be a part of the action.
Here are four other ways to contribute:
1) “An Evening Under the Stars Raffle” tickets are $25 per ticket and also available through the SARC website. The winner will receive an 18K, .64CTW diamond cluster pendant, valued at $3,845 generously donated by College Station Jeweler, David Gardner.
2) Online participation in the Gala’s silent auction is already underway. Go to the SARC website to view the auction and bid on items.

SARC assists hundreds of sexual assault survivors annually with thousands of counseling sessions and other types of support. It helps survivors navigate the criminal justice system and obtain free legal help with protection orders. A 24/7 crisis hotline – (979) 731-1000 – receives more than 1,500 calls a year. SARC also strives to reduce sexual violence through education and prevention outreach events.
