“There’s No Place Like Home” will fund NOWS' mission to help homeless women and their children to transition from homelessness and poverty to one of stability and self-sufficiency.
NOWS was founded after Hurricane Katrina, and has served more than 750 women and their dependent children, with more than 80 percent transitioning into independent living. A large majority (75%) of the children at the shelter are under the age of nine.
General admission tickets are $50 ($35 for young professionals) and $250 for VIP sponsors (includes the patron party).
