Raising the Bar Benefit Concert with Sara Bareilles

Join us for a celebration - OCTOBER 6TH at 8PM

PWJC is kicking off October, domestic violence awareness month, by commemorating three decades of protecting thousands of women and children with its Raising the Bar Benefit Concert at the Capitol Theatre on Thursday, October 6th, at 8:00 PM. The full-length concert is exclusively performed by Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, who recently completed an eight-week engagement of the fantasy musical, “Into The Woods” on Broadway. Sara’s self-described “piano-based pop-soul” and powerful lyrics give voice to the difficult journey from victim to survivor for PWJC’s clients. The fundraising event’s title, Raising the Bar Benefit Concert, is a nod to PWJC’s commitment to increasing access to justice and providing FREE critical legal services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The monies raised will allow PWJC to continue helping their clients on their journeys toward empowerment and healing.
