News release
Jana’s Campaign, a Hays-based national education and violence prevention organization with the single mission of reducing gender and relationship violence, will host its annual Empty Place at the Table Gala at the Rose Garden Banquet Hall in Hays on Saturday, Nov. 12.
This annual event brings together Jana’s Campaign’s supporters, donors, and friends to celebrate the violence prevention and education work being done across the state and beyond. With this year’s theme being "the groovy '70s," this is an amazing opportunity to have fun and raise funds to ultimately make our world a safer place.
“Empty Place at the Table is our largest fundraising event, and it continues to grow each and every year," said Kaiti Blackburn, executive director of Jana’s Campaign. “I am in awe of the support we receive from the Hays community and beyond. Because of this generous support, we are able to reach thousands more preteens, teens, and young adults each year, working to prevent violent and unhealthy relationship behaviors before they start.”
The evening will include a festive cocktail hour, dinner, live entertainment, a raffle, along with both a silent and live auction. Businesses throughout the community and state have donated items and experiences to support this event. Jana’s Campaign is celebrating impacting over 83,000 students from623 middle and high schools across ten states. These numbers reflect work completed since 2013, when Jana’s Campaign formalized their data collection processes.
This year, tickets are available for both online and in-person attendance. To purchase your tickets and learn more about the event itself, visit our website www.JanasCampaign.org.
