Knock Out Abuse Against Women is a Washington, D.C. based organization that for the past 14 years has promoted awareness and raised money to combat domestic abuse. Since 1993, Knock-Out Abuse Against Women has raised more than 5 million dollars to aid victims of domestic violence through supporting shelters for women and children whose lives have been shattered by abuse, poverty and homelessness.
The bulk of the fundraising for Knock-Out Abuse is done through its annual women-only event that includes a charity auction and a night of spectacular entertainment. The event is a very special evening, unlike any other in Washington, where over 800 committed and influential women come together. Our annual gala has earned the reputation as “the hottest ticket in town” and sells out each year.
Knock Out Abuse Against Women has an extensive reach within the Washington, D.C. community and nationally through its corporate, retail and philanthropic relationships. We are not afraid to open the dialogue about the important issue of domestic abuse and continue to find creative ways to both raise money for this issue as well as promote awareness.
