Sarah’s Inn is marking its 45th Anniversary, and we invite you to join us in honoring this incredible milestone at Stand Tall with Sarah’s Inn on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at the Oak Park Country Club. This special evening is an opportunity to highlight our impactful programming, deepen community partnerships, and strengthen our financial foundation in support of our mission. In addition to the in-person attendance of 300 people, Stand Tall will also maintain a virtual auction so that our supporters near and far can be engaged for a memorable evening, offering great visibility and recognition for our valued sponsors.

Sarah’s Inn is a comprehensive domestic violence agency serving Chicagoland and the Western Suburbs. Our mission is to improve the lives of those affected by domestic violence and to break the cycle of violence for future generations. Last year alone, thanks in big part to revenue raised at Stand Tall events:

• 1,200 Adults, children, and teen survivors of domestic violence received free advocacy, and individual and group counseling services
• 10,371 Middle and High School youth received education in violence prevention and how to create healthy relationships
• 85 Perpetrators of intimate partner violence learned and practiced non‐violent skills increasing victim safety
• Nearly 29,000 individuals have engaged and benefitted from our programs and services.

Will you consider a sponsorship for this special event? The success of our event, which raises vital dollars for our mission and programming, greatly relies upon the significant support we receive from our sponsors.
