Texas Advocacy Project's Black & White Ball to Honor Courage and Fund Critical Services

The Texas Advocacy Project will host its annual Black & White Ball on September 20th at the JW Marriott Austin, presented by DaBella, marking a significant fundraising event that supports the organization's mission to eradicate dating and domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, stalking, and human trafficking across Texas. This black-tie gala serves as a crucial financial backbone for the organization's free legal and social services, which have empowered countless survivors seeking justice and freedom from abusive situations for over four decades.

This year's event holds particular importance as it celebrates the organization's 40+ years of unwavering commitment to ending power-based abuse while raising vital funds for critical programs. The gala will feature the prestigious presentation of the annual Courage Award, recognizing a former client who exemplifies the remarkable bravery displayed by survivors served by the organization daily. The recognition of such courage underscores the profound impact of the services provided and the resilience of those who have sought assistance.

The success of the Black & White Ball has been significantly supported by long-standing partners like Cowboy Auctioneer, which has contributed to the event for nearly a decade. Heath Hale, Founder & President of Cowboy Auctioneer, emphasized the motivational aspect of their partnership, stating that his team is driven by a passion for making an impact through their professional gifts. The collaborative efforts between the organization and its partners have consistently achieved record-breaking fundraising results, enabling the continuation of life-changing services for courageous survivors across the state.

The dedication of staff, board members, volunteers, and generous donors has been instrumental in the growth and success of the Black & White Ball over the years. Their collective efforts have not only raised essential funds but also increased awareness about power-based abuse and instigated meaningful change in how these critical issues are addressed throughout Texas communities.
