Each fall, our community gathers for an evening that blends elegance, connection, and purpose. An evening that reminds us why courage matters and how healing grows when we walk alongside one another. Cultivating Courage has become one of Solace’s most meaningful traditions, and we are excited to share that this year’s event will return on October 8, 2026.
While each year brings its own unique touches, the heart of Cultivating Courage remains the same: creating a space where stories are honored, hope is uplifted, and our community comes together to support survivors and families across our region.
This year, we’re embracing a theme that reflects both the individual and collective experiences of healing. Pathways to Courage, Journeys to Solace speaks to the many routes people take as they move toward safety, stability, and emotional well‑being. No two paths look the same, and that’s what makes this work so meaningful.
While the theme will be woven throughout the evening, the event itself remains centered on what matters most: connection, community, and impact.
Cultivating Courage 2026 will bring back the elements our guests love, along with a few new touches that make the evening feel fresh and memorable.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
Every detail is designed to create an evening that feels warm, welcoming, and deeply meaningful.
The funds raised during Cultivating Courage directly support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and trauma. Your participation helps ensure that:
Your presence at this event is more than attendance, it’s an investment in healing, safety, and hope.
We can’t wait to welcome you to an evening that celebrates courage, honors the journeys of survivors, and strengthens the work we do together.
