1. On Wednesday, January 11, 2012, ”Thaw Out the Night” Cocktail Party and Benefit took place at The Saturday Club in Wayne. Business leaders and dazzling professionals gathered to savor dark chocolate fondue and sip delectable wines in The Saturday Club, a historic 1898 Landmark setting on the Main Line. The event also featured a silent auction with such items as a personal visit with the producers and actors of “The Good Wife” TV Show, autographed Eagles footballs, a year of in-home massages, French First Growth Bordeaux, and a day driving race cars. All proceeds benefit the Take Back Night Foundation. The TBTN Foundation is a 501(c)3 charity, formed in 1999 by Katie Koestner, who appeared on the cover of TIME Magazine at age 18 as the first woman to speak out nationally and publically as the victim of date rape. Take Back The Night seeks to end sexual violence in all of its forms including sexual assault, sexual abuse, dating violence and domestic violence. TBTN empowers survivors in the healing process and inspires responsibility in all. Their goal is to create safe communities and respectful relationships through awareness events and initiatives.
