This free event promises a night full of inspiration, discovery, and celestial storytelling.

Come curious, leave starstruck!


The Family Peace Center is a 501c3, multi-agency, multi-disciplinary co-located service center that provides services to victims of inter-personal violence. Both public and private partner agencies assign staff on a full-time or part-time basis to provide services from one location. The facility focuses on reducing the number of times survivors tell their story and the number of places survivors must go for help, as well as increases access to services and support for survivors and their children. Donations to the Family Peace Center for this event are on a goodwill basis.
