More Than Just Fairy Tales...

Inspired by the belief that we are stronger when we stand together, this event reminds us that no one should have to face life’s challenges alone. At Fair Haven, we believe in the power of friendship, fortitude, and community.
This year’s Toy-inspired Fairy Tale Ball — becomes a world where imagination comes to life with a playful adventure full of fun, laughter and opportunities to impact the mission.
Our vision is to see a community free from sexual violence. Through age-appropriate prevention education for students in grades K–12, we help equip children to recognize unsafe situations, identify trusted adults, and ask for help.
Together, we can build a stronger safety net, inspire hope, and help every child and every survivor “See It Through.”
