Special Events
From our Reach for the Stars gala to our Annual Meeting, we host several events throughout the year. Scroll down to learn more about each event and how you can get involved.
Come Join Us for our 2026 Gala!
Our annual Reach for the Stars Gala will be returning on Thursday, April 9, 2026! The Gala is an opportunity for our supporters and community members to come together and celebrate everything they've helped to accomplish by working with REACH. Those who have attended our previous Galas can attest to the moving power of our speaking program, the fun and frantic energy of our live auctions, and the communal spirit of hope and healing which makes it such a magical night. We hope to see you there!
Thanks to All of Our 2025 Holiday Gift Program Donors and Helpers!
Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2025 Holiday Gift Program another rousing success! Every year we put out the call to help support survivors and their families during the holiday season, and every year we're absolutely astounded by the wave of positive responses (though we really shouldn't be at this point, you all are amazing).
Here's what we accomplished with the 2025 Holiday Gift Program:
- 382 individuals served, including survivors and their families
- 16 shelter residents served along with advocacy clients
- 48 volunteers who helped with the giving space, item donations, gift sorting, and more
Whether you made a financial gift, donated in-kind items, volunteered, or contributed in any other way, you helped make the holidays brighter and warmer for our survivor clients. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
2025 VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING - RECORDING AVAILABLE
Thanks to everyone who attended our 2025 virtual Annual Meeting! If you weren't able to attend, you can watch the video recording above. An extra special thanks to all of our Annual Meeting speakers and facilitators, and to our 2025 Voice of Justice winner Karen Hoffman for the kind words she offered!
AN AMAZING TURNOUT FOR OUR 2025 CORPORATE LUNCH!
We couldn't have asked for a better response to our 4th Annual Corporate Lunch event. Attendees showed up ready to engage with REACH staff and listen to our panel discussion featuring experts in the fields of domestic violence and employee law along with a brave survivor speaker. Our sincerest thanks go out to the Waltham Chamber of Commerce for helping us host the event, and to the Waltham Chamber's Executive Director, Molyna Richards, for moderating the panel. If you'd like to support survivors in your own community, whether in or out of the workplace, we encourage you to look into our prevention programming or to start your own community engagement initiative.
THANKS FOR A SUCCESSFUL 2025 FALL FESTIVAL!
Our deepest thanks to the volunteers, runners, community members, staff, vendors, sponsors, and everyone else who made our 2025 Fall Festival & 5k a resounding success! You all helped us absolutely crush our $20,000 fundraising goal, and we're still accepting 5k donations throughout the rest of October if you want to help us climb even higher.
Congrats to our 2025 Falmouth Road Race Runners!
A huge shoutout to the runners who ran on behalf of REACH during this year's Falmouth Road Race! This was our first time participating in the storied race, and all of our team participants showed up ready and eager to put some miles on their running shoes. You can learn more about our runners (including why they chose to run for REACH) by visiting our official team page.
