REACH to host annual Reach for the Stars gala April 9

REACH Beyond Domestic Violence, the Waltham-based nonprofit that provides support and advocacy for survivors of domestic abuse across the MetroWest region, will hold its annual Reach for the Stars Gala on April 9 at 5:30 p.m. at the Artists for Humanity EpiCenter in Boston. NBC10 Boston news anchor Jericho Tran will emcee the speaking program.

The celebration will bring together community members, partners and advocates in support of REACH’s mission to build safer, healthier relationships through prevention, education and survivor services. Guests can expect catered hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, both live and silent auctions, a fan-favorite “wine pull” mystery grab bag and a photo booth. 

“This year’s gala is more than a celebration; it’s a reflection of who we are and where we’re going. At REACH, our updated mission and values — inclusion, unity, solidarity, trust and change — ground everything we do,” REACH Executive Director Amarely Gutiérrez Oliver said. “The evening will honor the resilience of survivors, the strength of our community partnerships and our collective commitment to building a future where healthy relationships are the norm and safety is not a privilege, but a right.”

Funds raised at the gala will support REACH’s free services, including education and prevention programs, support groups, direct advocacy and emergency shelter. Tickets are priced at $300 and available online at givebutter.com/stars2026.
