Offering shelter to victims of domestic violence and abuse
GALA of HOPE 2025
Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club, Mamaroneck, NY
ILLUMINATING THE NIGHT
Hope’s Door and guests gathered in support of the healing, comfort, and hope for those whose lives have been touched by the trauma of abuse. This year we honored Michelle Horton, author of Dear Sister, and her sister Nikki Addimando, a survivor of domestic violence as Mission Honorees. Through their unwavering dedication and courage, they’ve made a lasting impact on countless lives, guiding others toward healing. Their story embodies resilience and the power of hope. St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church was our Community Honoree, since its beginnings in 1842 the church and its members have been a foundational presence in Armonk. We are grateful for their support of our mission for more than a decade. The success of their thrift store, Treasure’s Thrift Shop, enabled them to award over $60,000 in grants in 2024 to life-changing organizations, including Hope’s Door.
The evening was full of hope and compassion as our featured speaker, a past client, shared the impact and life-changing moments of her experience with Hope’s Door. The testimonial along with our client notes for each guest highlighted the critical importance of the work we do for those experiencing some of their darkest moments as a result of intimate partner abuse. Through the generosity of our sponsors and all those who attended, volunteered, or donated to our Spring Gala, together we are able to open more doors to hope.
