Starlight Soiree, Tubman’s annual gala to honor survivors’ journeys through trauma and to celebrate the generous donors who support our mission, will be held at the Marriott Hotel City Center in Minneapolis on Saturday, May 5, 2018. This year’s theme is From Fear to Freedom, representing how Tubman’s services can help survivors move forward on a journey of safety, hope and healing.

The evening will begin at 6 p.m. with the champagne reception. Guests can enjoy champagne, light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar while bidding on fantastic silent auction items, and participating in fun activities.

Dinner and the program will begin at 7:30 p.m., featuring Patty Peterson Presents: Jazz Women All Stars. Reg Chapman of WCCO television will emcee the event.

As an esteemed journalist, he has won several Associated Press awards, honors from the Society of Professional Journalists, and the Edward R. Murrow Award for Investigative Reporting.
