Partners in Dignity
Join us for the Partners in Dignity Soiree, Brave Space Alliance's first annual fundraiser and awards event! Enjoy food, drinks, and a fireside chat with CEO Channyn Lynne Parker and a special guest as we celebrate awardees who made our progress possible.​​

Let's raise a glass to the progress we've achieved and the bright future we're building together, fueled by resilience and unity.

History
The Partners in Dignity Soiree came about as a successor to "A Brave New Year"—a celebration in May of 2024 that marked the one year anniversary Brave Space Alliance's new leadership, and saw the first Partners in Dignity Award.
