CASFV’s Puro Empower was an extraordinary virtual event that celebrated and honored local women leaders. The virtual fundraiser was a dynamic experience with an exciting silent auction and inspiring speakers; guests heard stories of female empowerment while viewing a magnificent awards presentation. People were delightfully surprised by the unique offerings of the silent auction, especially the custom painting by renowned artist Mabel Weber which allowed attendees to honor a special somebody in their life with a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. It was a glorious success that gave voices to empowering stories and helped support those who have experienced violence.
