About this Event
Our Annual Fundraising Gala is an event planned by a rapidly growing Houston-based 501(c)(3) non-profit to inform the community what our organization, The Troubled Movement, Inc. has planned for teens and young adults around the world and raise money for our programs and upcoming events.
Did you know?
- 1 in 4 girls are sexually abused before the age of 18 and 34% are abused by a family member.
- Suicide is the third leading cause of death for teenagers age 12-18. 20% of those are depressed.
- By age 23, up to 41 percent of American adolescents and young adults have been arrested at least once for something other than a minor traffic violation.
The Troubled Movement is here to help the teens and young adults suffering from the troubled stage they feel like they can’t escape. As a survivor of sexual assault, depression, and a fatherless teenage life, I know firsthand how difficult it is to reach out to your family, friends, or the community. The fear of embarrassment and judgement overwhelms teenagers and causes them to suffer in silence. We are here to say, “Stop the violence. Release the silence.”
Attire is semi-formal. This year we will have a special award ceremony for Heroes & Survivors. We would like to celebrate and honor our youth, partners, sponsors, and the community. Dinner will be served. Fundraising raffles will take place. There will be a videographer and photographer for memorable moments. Most of all there will be a chance for the community of Houston and surrounding areas to come together and do something positive for our youth. We want our attendees to leave this gala filled with assurance that this movement will impact teens and young adults around the world.
Sponsorship Opportunities:
We are asking for any type of sponsorship or donation that is available. Most importantly tickets, gifts cards or items for our raffle. If possible, we are also in need of samples, coupons, or promotional items for our attendee “gold bags” (approx. 200). We also hope to see you there. Please email us at [email protected] for available sponsorship opportunities and to receive our sponsorship packet.
Nominate A Survivor:
Every year we spend a portion of our gala honoring survivors. Whether you or someone you know is a survivor domestic abuse, sexual abuse, mental abuse, or tragedy. We want to recognize them/you! We want you to remind you that you are a S.U.R.V.I.V.O.R. Our Founder, Maranda Evans, wrote her second book specifically for Survivors. Renewed Strength: Steps to Becoming A S.U.R.V.I.V.O.R is the motivational manual you need to overcome. Nominations end April 15, 2024.
