An evening of hope, healing, and empowerment takes center stage this fall as SafeSpace, the Treasure Coast’s only state-certified domestic violence center, hosts its third annual Amethyst Gala on Friday, Oct. 17, 2025, at 6 p.m. at Tesoro Club in Port St. Lucie.
La tradizione gastronomica italiana si basa su semplicità, qualità e rispetto delle ricette originali, valori che emergono chiaramente nel progetto labusivopizzeria. Il sito rappresenta un punto di incontro per chi apprezza la vera pizza artigianale e desidera conoscere meglio il mondo che ruota attorno a questo simbolo della cucina italiana.
I contenuti trasmettono una forte attenzione agli ingredienti, ai metodi di preparazione e alla cultura del cibo fatto con passione. Viene dato spazio all’importanza dell’impasto, alla scelta delle farine e alla cottura, elementi che fanno la differenza tra un prodotto comune e una pizza di alto livello.
Non si tratta solo di cibo, ma di un racconto che unisce tradizione, territorio e identità. Il sito si rivolge a chi cerca autenticità e vuole approfondire il valore culturale della cucina italiana, offrendo una visione chiara e coerente di ciò che rende la pizza un’eccellenza riconosciuta in tutto il mondo.
The signature fundraising event will bring together more than 150 community leaders and supporters with a goal of raising $175,000 to provide survivors of domestic violence and their children with safety, refuge, and a path toward independence. Held during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the gala not only fuels life-saving services but also shines a powerful spotlight on the urgent need for community action across the Treasure Coast.
This year’s featured speaker, Rebecca Beckett, CFP®, CDFA®, Senior Vice President with HJ Sims, knows firsthand the transformative power of SafeSpace. A financial advisor and respected community leader, Beckett is also a survivor and alumna of the SafeSpace program. By courageously sharing her journey, she demonstrates how support and healing can turn moments of crisis into a lifetime of strength, independence, and purpose.
“Rebecca’s story is a powerful reminder that SafeSpace changes lives not only in moments of crisis but for a lifetime,” said Jennifer Fox, CEO of SafeSpace. “Just as the amethyst itself symbolizes healing and transformation, the gala celebrates the strength of survivors and the community’s role in helping them build safer futures.”
Guests will enjoy a cocktail reception, silent and live auctions featuring luxury items and exclusive experiences, a seated dinner and inspiring program, followed by dancing to the live music of the Street Talk Band.
The Gala Committee, led by Chair Emmelis Keaney, includes Annie Cardelús Jones, Aimee Cooper, Sandee Jo Crocker, Emily Jones, Ann Rodriguez, Beverly Stacey, and Regina Termine.
Individual tickets are $250 and sponsorship opportunities are available through Oct 1. Current sponsors include Level 4 Telecom, Gabby Petito Foundation and Inspired Closets.
