Kristi House’s 25th Anniversary Silver Lining Gala, held at Four Seasons Miami on Saturday, February 8, 2020, will celebrate a quarter-century of helping children recover from trauma to triumph.

A pioneer in healing child sexual abuse, Kristi House additionally treats many forms of trauma with evidence-based modalities and best-in-class services from a multidisciplinary team of experts. In the past 25 years, Kristi House has treated 17,750 children, trained 112,000 individuals, and expanded to six locations.

More than the numbers, each individual who overcomes the trauma of abuse is invaluable.  We’ll come together at the Silver Lining Gala to celebrate a community that is committed to protecting our most vulnerable children and has provided the life-changing safe haven that Kristi House has been since 1995.  The event will bring together luminaries from the business and political world, community leaders, lawmakers and child advocates, all committed to protecting and healing children’s trauma, and supporting our Children’s Advocacy Center. Barbara W. Havenick and Lizzie Schaul are co-chairing this commemorative evening.
