Join us on April 29 for a fun night with food, drinks, silent auction, and a spectacular Drag Show all while supporting a worthy cause!

The Metro East Every Survivor Counts is the certified rape crisis center for Illinois counties of St. Clair, Madison, Randolph, Jersey, and Monroe. This dedicated agency provides counseling, legal and medical advocacy, and in-person crisis support to survivors of sexual violence and their families and community outreach through education and prevention programs. All of these services are provided free of charge.

On April 29, the Metro East ESC Board of Directors will be hosting the first annual gala to raise funds for agency. This formal gala will take place at McKendree University's The Hettenhausen Center for the Arts at 6pm. The price of the ticket includes food and a spectacular drag show! There will be a cash bar (no cards) and a silent auction. All proceeds go directly to the Metro East ESC to continue to provide their valuable services to survivors of sexual violence. As our performers are donating their time and talent to this cause, please remember to tip them. All tickets are non-refundable.
