Nomi Network invites you to take part in our efforts to bring hope and freedom to millions of girls and women who are survivors or at risk of human trafficking. This year we will be honoring Shannon Sedgwick Davis, CEO of the Bridgeway Foundation, the charitable giving arm of Bridgeway Capital Management, Inc., with the 2014 Nomi Network Abolitionist Award for her outstanding achievements in promoting peace and ending human atrocities across our globe. Nomi Network will also be honoring Blake Mycoskie, Founder of TOMS shoes, with the Nomi Network Corporate Social Responsibility Award for his revolutionary entrepreneurial achievements incorporating giving in business, which has become a global movement. This event is the largest fundraiser for the Nomi Network, and all of the proceeds go directly back into our programs and operations. Approximately 250 guests will gather at the gala to celebrate the accomplishments of our honorees, volunteers, community partners, and all of the survivors of human trafficking world wide. Special Guests include Actress Mamie Gummer, Actor Kevin Navayne, Model Farah Zulaikha and Shandra Woworuntu. The evening will begin with a VIP cocktail hour from 6:30pm-7:30pm. Cocktail hour will continue into the regular admission at 7:30pm. There will be a silent auction that will start at 6:30pm and will continue throughout out the night. We will have a seated dinner with special guest speakers and presentations of the awards. After the formal program, the evening will conclude with dancing and a lot of fun! Nomi Network’s vision and mission is at the forefront of social innovation. With your support we believe that the complex issue of human trafficking will be brought to an end within our lifetime.
