ATVP Invites Community to Annual Summer Fundraiser

Free community event at Merry Cellars to feature local wine, silent auction, raffles, and snacks in support of survivor services

PULLMAN, WA — Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse (ATVP) invites the community to enjoy an afternoon of connection, generosity, and local wine while supporting a vital cause at its Annual Summer Fundraiser, taking place Saturday, September 26, from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Merry Cellars Winery in Pullman.

This community event brings together friends, families, local businesses, and supporters for an afternoon featuring local wine, snacks, a silent auction, and raffles. Admission is free, and all proceeds from fundraising activities will help sustain ATVP's important advocacy, prevention, and survivor support programs.

Proceeds from the Annual Summer Fundraiser directly support ATVP's mission to provide free and confidential services for individuals affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and other crimes throughout Latah and Whitman counties. Funds raised help ensure individuals and families across the Palouse have access to ATVP's free and confidential advocacy, emergency shelter, crisis intervention, legal advocacy, prevention education, and other essential support services.

"Our Annual Summer Fundraiser is more than just an afternoon at a local winery—it's an opportunity for our community to come together in support of survivors," said Cori Damron, ATVP Board Vice Chair and Chair of the Events & Development Committee. "Every bid, raffle ticket, and donation helps ensure that individuals and families across the Palouse have access to the free and confidential services they need to find safety, healing, and hope."

Community members are encouraged to attend, bring friends and family, enjoy an afternoon at Merry Cellars, and participate in the silent auction and raffles to help make a lasting difference for survivors throughout the Palouse.

Whether you’re a longtime Austen devotee or simply love a good historical novel, we’d love to have you join the conversation!

Every animal deserves a storybook ending. And you're the reason so many of them get one.

Join fellow animal lovers from across Chelan and Douglas Counties for an unforgettable evening benefiting Wenatchee Valley Humane Society. As the safety net that makes happy tails (and tales!) possible in our community, we couldn’t do this without you!

On September 26, we gather for Storybook Endings, an Annual Fundraising Gala to celebrate the fosters, the adopters, the volunteers, the donors—everyone who shows up for animals when they need it most.

Together, we'll enjoy a reception, buffet dinner, a special program, and more, all to help raise critical funds to keep the shelter thriving, our animals healthy, and bring more families together.

Jim Hodges’ “Unearthed” exhibition is a monumental bronze cast of an uprooted tree stump. The truncated form resonates with majesty while also serving as a mournful reminder of humankind’s impact upon the natural world. The sculpture is suspended in stillness, suggesting what might have been above, stretching branches that had reached into the air towards the sun that once contained life in green and barky rough wildness. With this implication, and through our interaction with the sculpture, “Unearthed” opens generative thought toward relationships between environments and their communities. The work beckons us to consider fragility, ephemerality, as well as the sacredness of life.

This work-in-becoming had its first residency in San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral in 2019. Imagine that in the confines of that edifice the sculpture absorbed metaphysical power from everyday spiritual practice, from a celebration of life observed in rites of faith, musical performances, readings, by a community’s presence, participation, and social interaction. “Unearthed” has its second residency at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Washington State University, providing the academic and regional community an occasion to approach the work through intentional participation.

In time, its roots will be reunited with the ground through burial, transferring its accumulated goodwill charged with incorporeal memories and energies into the Earth. Only its severed trunk will remain visible, indicating a new role in nature.
