Secure your place at the Royal Court for the second-annual LACASA gala, this year themed “Purple Reign: A Royal Evening of Purpose,” dedicated to supporting survivors of interpersonal violence. This year’s event, presented by Judy and Bert Herzog and EP Wealth Advisors, with support from Brighton Ford and Revival R.N., promises a night of majesty and profound impact.
The gala will take place on Friday, Oct. 24, 2025, at Crystal Gardens Event Center, 5768 E. Grand River Ave. in Howell. The regal festivities commence at 6 p.m., with doors opening at 5:30 p.m., and the event concluding at 11 p.m.
Prepare for a night of exquisite entertainment featuring live music and dancing to the Chateau Band, a moving testimonial from a survivor, gourmet dining and drinks, and exciting silent and live auctions. The evening’s dress code is regal and/or cocktail attire, with guests encouraged to “embrace the purple!”
The event, which falls during Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, is an opportunity to support the local nonprofit which serves victims and survivors of all forms of interpersonal violence from its state-of-the-art facility in Howell.
“The funds raised at the LACASA Gala are not just donations — they are a lifeline that enables us to keep our doors open and continue providing life-saving support to those we serve” said LACASA President & CEO Bobette Schrandt. “Not only will you have a royally good time, but you’ll show the world you stand with survivors in the fight for a safer community for all.”
