10/27 Style for Safeplace


Style for safeplace was organized by several amazing women. The event proceeds went 100% to SafePlace. SafePlace is the only advocacy agency and confidential shelter for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Thurston County.

We are a private non-profit organization. Our sexual assault program is one of the oldest in the nation. A board of directors, a paid staff, and over 90 trained volunteers operate the agency.

SafePlace was formed on October 9, 1981, by the merger of Rape Relief and the Women’s Shelter, two programs operated by the YWCA since 1973 and 1976, respectively.

The evening provided cocktails, hoers devours, a raffle, shopping opportunities and a fabulous fashion show. It was a fun ladies night out but it also benefited a very important program. I met the directors and offered and idea I have to help with SafePlace. They were excited about my idea and I hope we can make it happen soon! I will post details at they unfold!!!
