Club Curry Raises More Than $130,000 for Local Domestic Violence Shelter
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Club Curry announced today that it has raised more than $130,000 to support Kansas City's local domestic violence shelter, Hope House. The money was raised at Club Curry's 2014 Speakeasy event, which was a '20s themed party held last week at Black on Burlington.
"It's truly an honor to be a part of such a successful event on behalf of Hope House which is doing so much to help survivors of domestic violence in the Kansas City area," said Travis Kelso, Club Curry spokesperson. "We are very pleased with this year's outcome and it would not have been possible without the help and support of our sponsors and participants whose generous contributions made this one of Club Curry's most successful events. We cannot thank them enough."
Over the last two years, Club Curry has raised more than $230,000 to benefit safe shelters and domestic violence shelters in Kansas City and Las Vegas. This year's event contributed significantly to that number, exceeding the expectations of both Club Curry and Hope House.
"Club Curry has once again blown us away with a wonderful event," said Mary Anne Metheny, CEO of Hope House. "We are so thankful for the incredible sponsors and donors who came out to support Hope House. It's people like Mark Curry, Club Curry's founder, whose thoughtfulness and dedication to this cause make such a difference. The contributions raised at this event will be a lifeline for survivors of domestic violence."
More than thirty years ago Hope House opened its doors with one goal in mind – save lives by providing safe refuge for those affected by domestic violence. Since then, their approach has grown more comprehensive with services encompassing prevention, education and support for thousands of people traumatized by domestic violence every year. They have two secure locations in the Kansas City metro area, making Hope House the largest domestic violence shelter in Missouri. For information on Hope House, go to http://HopeHouse.net.
