2025 Aruna Banquet

YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN US AT OUR ANNUAL ARUNA BANQUET ON APRIL 11TH | 6 PM

The Aruna Project creates lifelong freedom marked by holistic care for victims of human trafficking. Our premium athleisure products are crafted in freedom by skilled Artisans who are finding their voice, experiencing independence and growing with a sisterhood of others who have overcome. By combining the best of nonprofit services and freedom business solutions, we envision a day when every young woman is free to choose her own adventure.

Join us on April 11th, 2025, beginning at 6PM at the Cooper Creek Event Center for an inspiring evening as we share about impact, resilience, and restoration from the perspective of a survivor’s journey.

What to expect:

Hope begins as something unseen - an ethereal thread, fragile yet full of potential. Through the work of the Aruna Project, this intangible hope becomes something tangible, developing into a life of freedom, dignity, and purpose for women once trapped in exploitation.

Throughout 2025, we’re focusing on “Tracing a Product” - a journey that mirrors the path Aruna Artisans take. From the start of a single thread woven together with countless other materials, to the final completion of premium products, this product journey symbolizes the journey from exploitation to empowerment and the thread of hope tying the Aruna freedom process together.

Together, we’ll explore:

• The first steps of hope: the spark of possibility in a woman’s life.

• The intricate process of healing and empowerment, where a fragile thread becomes something unbreakable.

• The rippling impact: sustainable freedom that extends across generations and communities, changing the world one life at a time.

Enjoy an evening filled with storytelling, art, and a delicious meal as we celebrate the lives being transformed and the products that symbolize their freedom. Guests will have the unique opportunity to partner in empowering women through dignified employment and programs that ensure lasting change.

Your participation supports:

• The creation of meaningful products made by Artisans freed from exploitation.

• Essential programs that move women from hopelessness to a life of dignity and purpose.

Seats are limited—reserve your place today and help us weave a thread of hope into the fabric of freedom.

In addition to inspiring stories, attendees will be able to shop products crafted in freedom.

We can't wait to see you there.
