Upcoming Events
The Cocoon hosts several events throughout the year to raise awareness about our services and funding to support programs for survivors.
Our fundraising events offer guests an opportunity to learn more about the agency while financially supporting critical programs and services. Sponsorship opportunities are available and include partnership recognition, priority seating, and more. Net proceeds from our fundraising events are put directly back into supporting programs and services that reach more than 800 survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and their children, each year.
Many of the events we host each year are free and family friendly. Mark your calendar for the events below and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for event updates and information throughout the year.
