Atlanta, GA - November 4, 2024—Saprea invites the Georgia community to its annual gala, “An Evening in Paris”, a night dedicated to raising awareness and funds to combat child sexual abuse and provide essential resources for healing survivors and protecting future generations. The event will take place on June 7, 2025, at the InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta, 3315 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326, providing an elegant and inspiring setting for this important cause.

The evening will open with a welcome reception at 6:00 p.m., followed by a formal dinner and program at 7:15 p.m., where attendees will learn about Saprea’s mission to protect children and aid survivors in their healing journey.

“Every year, millions of children across the nation suffer from sexual abuse, and Georgia is no exception,” says Chris Yadon, Managing Director at Saprea. “This is an issue we cannot ignore. With the help of our dedicated sponsors and partners, we hope Georgians will join us in raising funds to combat this silent epidemic in our communities.” According to the Georgia Department of Health, the state ranks 38th in child wellbeing, with 1 in 10 children experiencing sexual abuse by age 18.
