In September, Sojourner Center hosted the Better Together Breakfast at the Arizona Biltmore. This event was more than just a fundraiser; it was a celebration of community, resilience, and the collective power we hold to create meaningful change. Guests enjoyed an inspiring morning program that featured powerful stories from survivors, moving messages from our leadership team, and recognition of some of our outstanding community partners. Together, we explored the vital importance of providing comprehensive and compassionate services for those impacted by domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking. We were thrilled to welcome nearly 200 community members and leaders who generously contributed to our mission. Thanks to their support, we raised over $91,000, ensuring that survivors of violence receive the critical resources they need to transform their lives. The Better Together Breakfast highlighted what makes Sojourner Center's work so impactful: we truly are better together. We are deeply grateful to all who attended, donated, and continue to stand with us in building pathways to possibility for survivors and their families.

In Her Words
One of the most moving moments of the morning came from Imelda, a brave survivor who shared her journey of healing with the audience. Reflecting on her first night at Sojourner Center, she said, "I was scared... I was lost... and then I walked through Sojourner Center’s doors. I will never forget Sojourner Center. Their staff were like a safety net for me. When I had to lean back, I knew they would be there to catch me." Her powerful words reminded us all why Sojourner Center's work matters so deeply — and how every act of support creates a pathway to a new beginning.
