Because silence doesn’t protect survivors.
Courage is taking center stage.
Created by sexual assault survivor. Scratch that, thriver and unapologetic advocate Leah M. Forney, The Courage Couture Gala is not your average night of dinner and dresses. This is where elegance meets activism, where fashion serves as the backdrop for fierce conversations, and where community rises—loud, powerful, and unshaken. This is a night for survivors. This is a night for all of us who believe that pain can be transformed into purpose—without sacrificing style, substance, or standards. Come dressed in whatever makes you feel unstoppable. This night is about visibility, voice, and unapologetic presence.
What You Can Expect
A curated culinary experience.
You won’t be nibbling on finger foods wondering when it ends. Every bite is crafted to nourish, impress, and honor the occasion.
Photo-worthy moments at every turn.
From elevated installations to a professional photobooth, we’re capturing the strength and beauty of the moment—so you leave with memories that matter.
Stories that shake the room.
You’ll hear real people share raw truths. It’s not always easy to listen—but it’s necessary. And we don’t shy away from necessary.
A keynote speaker that doesn’t hold back.
No fluff. No filler. Just the kind of message that stays with you long after the last toast.
Resources that go beyond the moment.
We’re not here for performative healing. This event provides access to day-of and ongoing support for survivors, allies, and community members.
Let’s Talk About the Ticket
Yes, the price is more than your average night out. But this isn’t your average night out. Your ticket isn’t just a seat at a table. It’s a contribution to a cause. It’s an investment in healing. It’s a declaration that you care enough to show up—and show out. If you’ve ever said “something needs to change,” here’s your chance to be part of that change. Come for the fashion. Stay for the movement. Walk away part of something bigger than yourself.
