Wellspring Living is thrilled to announce a successful Gala event held on Sunday, October 24 at the InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta. The 2021 theme Chapters celebrated the organization's 20 year anniversary of serving survivors of sexual exploitation through residential and community programs. The event was presented by Primerica, a loyal partner for several years who shares a people-first philosophy and commitment to "doing what's right."

Approximately 400 individuals came together to celebrate Wellspring Living’s two decades and invest in providing hope for the youth and women in their care. While final numbers are still being processed, Wellspring Living anticipates $450,000 raised - more than any previous event. These funds enable the organization to continue providing excellent trauma-informed care through critical programming and opportunities for restoration and healing for sex trafficking survivors.

The evening included powerful monologues based on real stories, an inspiring graduate testimonial video, an engaging panel discussion, and presentation of the Hope Award to Ted Blum, Managing Shareholder of Greenberg Traurig Atlanta, in recognition of their partnership with Wellspring Living's Women's Academy.

The event had support from an impressive fleet of sponsors all committed to the mission of seeing lives transformed through the restorative programs provided by Wellspring Living.
