Every person who comes to Lafayette House carries a story. For some, the chapters before they arrive are filled with heartache, danger, or struggle. But their story does not end there. At Lafayette House, a new chapter begins, one filled with safety, healing, and hope.
That’s what Ooh-La Lafayette is all about. Each year, this cherished community event brings together hundreds of supporters to ensure survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and substance use disorder can continue writing their next chapters. Since its beginning in 2010, Ooh-La Lafayette has raised more than $1 million to directly support these life-changing services, all provided at no cost to clients or their families.
This year, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable evening under the theme Written in the Stars—a celebration of resilience, possibility, and the belief that brighter chapters are always ahead.
Guests will enjoy:
✨ Surprise Bags filled with gift cards and local treasures (first come, first serve!)
✨ Handbag Silent Auction
✨ Social Mixer & Live Music
✨ Buffet Dinner
✨ Inspiring Program Highlighting Survivor Stories
✨ Live Auction with exclusive packages and experiences
When you attend Ooh-La Lafayette, you’re not just buying a ticket. You’re helping someone find shelter after fleeing abuse. You’re walking alongside someone in recovery. You're keeping children with their families. You’re giving survivors the support they need to turn the page and continue writing their story.
Your presence matters. Your support matters. And together, we can make sure that the best chapters for our clients are still to come.
*Tickets will be available in January 2026
