Red Oak Hosts 10th Annual Hope Gala to Support Sex Trafficking Survivors

The 10th Annual Red Oak Hope Gala will take place on September 28th, 2025, at The Junior League of Austin, marking a decade of community support for survivors of sex trafficking. Red Oak, an Austin-based organization dedicated to ending cycles of abuse for trafficking survivors, has been providing crisis intervention and long-term restoration services since 2018.

The gala serves as a crucial fundraiser for Red Oak's comprehensive approach to supporting survivors, which includes holistic care, supportive housing, and movement building. These programs are designed to help individuals break free from exploitation and experience freedom, hope, and restoration. Attendees will hear firsthand stories of hope from frontline staff and learn about the organization's vision for expanding their impact in combating human trafficking.

Cowboy Auctioneer, a longstanding partner of the event, will once again facilitate the fundraising efforts through a high-energy live auction and donation appeal. Their support over the past nine years has been instrumental in the gala's success and Red Oak's ability to serve survivors. The organization emphasizes that addressing human trafficking requires community partnership, stating that everyone has a role to play in supporting survivors and combating exploitation.
