Held Oct. 21 at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach, the event was themed From Love to Fear to Sanity, and featured "Crazy Love" author Leslie Morgan Steiner and Human Options community educator Robert Diaz, who shared his work to inform Orange County youth about early signs of abuse and healthy relationships.
All proceeds from the fundraiser support the nonprofit's mission to help battered women, their families and the community break the cycle of domestic violence, said Co-Chairwomen Scharrell Talley Jackson and Nancy Dahan.
Last year, Human Options served more than 20,000 individuals. The organization offers prevention and early intervention programs, emergency shelter and transitional housing, and follow-up support. In 2011, Human Options will mark its 30th year of working to stop domestic violence.
