Imagine a Day…

… when every survivor is safe

… when children can sleep through the night without fear

… when our hotline is silent because the violence has ended.

Imagine being the reason a family’s story changes forever. Your support can save and transform the lives of brave children and adults who are escaping domestic violence.

Join us at the 2026 Imagine a Day Gala and enjoy gourmet dinner, live + silent auctions, captivating entertainment, and inspiring survivor stories.

At a time when our community is seeing a record number of domestic violence homicides and government funding is shrinking, YOU have the power to heal children and adults through safe shelter, long-term housing, legal advocacy, therapy, childcare, and much more. Newhouse is Kansas City’s oldest domestic violence shelter, serving survivors and families for 55 years.


The 2025 Imagine a Day Gala on November 8, 2025, was an incredible success, with 1,300 people in attendance! Guests gathered at the Loews Hotel and enjoyed an inspiring night with live entertainment, live and silent auctions, a delicious meal, and powerful speakers with stories of survival and healing. We are thrilled to announce that the gala raised another record-breaking total of more than $1.1M in life-transforming funds for survivors and families served at Newhouse. This number greatly contributes to the over $5M it takes to operate our shelter and deliver lifesaving services annually.
