safe: in our own words
Wednesday, November 28, 2007

Safe Horizon, along with Presenting Sponsor, North Fork Bank, hosted safe: in our own words at Pier Sixty to raise both awareness of our issues and critically needed funds to support our mission.

On November 28th, guests joined us to explore the meaning of “safe” - a promise of our mission. To our organization, “safe” means empowering victims to live a life free from violence and full of possibilities.  safe: in our own words asked renowned artists, performers, and designers to use their craft to express how "safe" looks, feels, sounds, smells, and even tastes.

The evening kicked off with cocktails and an exhibition of original works of art, fashion, and interior design. The evening continued with a "safe" dinner and program featuring music, dance, fashion, comedy and film. The night concluded with the "safe After Party" hosted by Henri Bendel and Safe Horizon's Junior Council.  Whether moved by our work, our celebrity supporters or our clients, our featured artists entertained, educated, and inspired.
