THANK YOU!
Our 2025 Tolerance Benefit raised more than $3 million in support of Sanctuary for Families and survivors of gender-based violence!
We gathered to celebrate over four decades of extraordinary progress and to underscore our ongoing commitment to this critical work.
For those in the room, we hope our incredible speakers and honorees inspired your ongoing support for Sanctuary for Families and our efforts to create a world where freedom from gender violence is a human right.
Thank you for helping us improve the lives of thousands of adults and children each year.

OUR MISSION
Sanctuary for Families is the leading nonprofit in New York State dedicated exclusively to serving survivors of domestic violence, sex trafficking, and related forms of gender violence. Every year, Sanctuary empowers 8,500 adults and children to move from fear and abuse to safety and stability, transforming lives through legal and clinical services, economic empowerment, and shelter.
We believe that freedom from gender violence is a basic human right.
