Join Just Stalking: Maryland Resources for our Third Stalking Awareness Soirée 2026, an evening of education, community, and support for stalking victims and their loved ones in Maryland. This annual event also serves as a fundraiser to keep our resources free and accessible year‑round.

We create a welcoming space where Marylanders can learn more about stalking, share experiences, and connect with advocates, allies, and service providers. Everyone interested in understanding stalking, supporting survivors, or learning how to respond safely is invited.

• 4‑hour, in‑person community soirée
• Live jazz and additional musical performances
• Remarks from advocates and community partners
• Special appearance by long‑time supporter State Senator Jeff Waldstreicher
• Guest speaker Theodosha Hayes
• Awards and recognition of community members
• Annual raffle with prizes (one free raffle ticket when you complete our 8‑question End‑of‑Year Feedback Survey)

Throughout the evening, you will gain practical information about recognizing stalking, supporting victims, and accessing free resources in Maryland. You will also meet the team behind Just Stalking: Maryland Resources and learn how to stay involved after January.
