An Evening of Hope, Healing & Community
Join the Placer Justice Foundation for the inaugural Guardians of Hope Gala — an evening dedicated to honoring victims and survivors of crime, recognizing those who stand beside them, and bringing our community together to create a safer, stronger future.
This special evening will shine a light on the important work being done throughout Placer County to support victims, prevent crime, educate our community, and provide resources when they are needed most.
Why We Gather
Behind every crime statistic is a person, a family, and a story.
For victims and survivors, the impact of crime can extend far beyond the initial incident. They may face unexpected financial challenges, emotional trauma, safety concerns, and difficult decisions at a time when they are already overwhelmed.
The Placer Justice Foundation works alongside the Placer County District Attorney’s Office and community partners to help bridge those gaps — providing critical resources and supporting programs that victims and survivors may not otherwise have access to. The Guardians of Hope Gala helps make that work possible.
The Evening
Guests will enjoy an inspiring evening featuring:
