AWARE celebrates 40 years of service with a dance party/fundraiser
To celebrate 40 years of providing services to Juneau and the Northern Panhandle, AWARE (Aiding Women in Abuse and Rape Emergencies) will host a birthday party at 8 p.m. in the Rockwell Ballroom on Jan. 28. Susu and the Prophets, a local popular band, will rock the house while some of Juneau’s gourmet bakers and ice cream makers (B’s Bakery, Chef Stef and Coppa) serve up birthday treats.
The event’s main sponsor is local pediatrician Joy Neyhart, owner of Rainfores Pediatric Care. She calls AWARE “an excellent community partner that provides vital services regarding domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.”
The event’s other sponsors include the Alaskan Brewery, B’s Bakery, Chef Stef, Coppa, EVENT! Alaska, Marms and Meeks and the Rockwell Ballroom.
Tickets ($40 admits two) include music, sweets and a no-host bar. They are available online, at the JAHC, Hearthside Books and at the door.
