The 18th Annual Black & White Ball, hosted by Texas Advocacy Project, was a night of elegance and empowerment that brought the Austin community together for a life-changing cause. The sold-out event raised a record-breaking $1.159 million to support TAP’s mission of providing free legal and social work services to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, child abuse, stalking, and human trafficking across Texas.

This milestone event featured gourmet dining, live entertainment, dancing, a live auction, and Mystery Gifts, where attendees had the opportunity to take home curated surprises. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of TAP’s prestigious Courage Award, honoring a TAP client whose personal story of strength and resilience serves as an inspiration to survivors everywhere.

The Black & White Ball stands as a beacon of hope for survivors and a reminder of the community's power to create a future free from fear and violence. The unrestricted funds raised at this event ensure TAP’s ability to meet the increasing demand for free legal and social services for all survivors, regardless of their background.

Texas Advocacy Project’s mission is to end dating and domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking in Texas. For more information, visit texasadvocacyproject.org.
