Welcome to the Abused Deaf Women’s Advocacy Services (ADWAS) 40th Anniversary Gala website, a formal fundraising celebration honoring 40 years of advocacy and impact. Join us as we gather in Hope and Justice to support life-saving services for Deaf, DeafBlind, and DeafDisabled survivors.

Welcome to ADWAS’ 40th Anniversary Gala website. This special fundraising celebration honors four decades of advocacy, empowerment, and life-saving services for Deaf, DeafBlind, and DeafDisabled survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and gender-based violence. Centered on the theme Hope and Justice, the evening will reflect the elegance of ruby, red, and gold as we come together in recognition of our shared impact and continued mission.

As we are in the early stages of planning, additional details will be shared soon. More information coming—please stay tuned. To receive updates and announcements about the Gala via email, please contact development@adwas.org
