Power of Peace
Join us on October 2 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Dahl Fine Arts Center (713 7th St) as we unmask domestic violence and celebrate survivors and community partners. The Power of Peace event, held annually in October to mark National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, is represented by the color purple. Enjoy lunch catered by Smokin’ Hot Catering, discover community resources, and hear local survivor Darla Black share her empowering story. We will also honor the 2025 Spirit of Peace award recipient, Krista Heeren-Graber, founder and Executive Director of the South Dakota Network Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault since 1999. Join us in this important event to raise awareness and support survivors.
