March 19, 2025
Doors Open at 10:45 AM
Promontory Double Deer Club: 6347 Nicklaus Road, Park City UT 84098
We are excited to announce that Lynn Rosenthal is our keynote for this year's luncheon! Lynn is a nationally recognized leader in the movement to end gender-based violence, and was the first White House Advisor on Violence Against Women. As Co-Director of the MOSAIC Initiative at the Battered Women’s Justice Project (BWJP), she advances innovative strategies to prevent and respond to domestic violence, sexual assault, and related harms. Drawing on her national level work, Lynn now focuses on strengthening the solutions that matter most—the ones we build together in our own communities, where hope takes root and grows.
Thank you to our lead sponsor Vail Resorts Epic Promise Foundation.
We also have a $45,000 match gifted by Cheri and Scott Beck, and the Marriott Daughters Foundation!

In the U.S., abuse and disability impact a sizable percentage of the population— 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men are subjected to domestic violence throughout their lifetime, and roughly a quarter of all adults have a range of physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities.
People with disabilities experience higher rates of domestic violence and sexual assault than non-disabled people. 70% of disabled people experience some form of abuse and are three times more likely to be sexually assaulted.
Sexual assault and intimate partner violence are just two of many forms of abuse that disabled people face: disabled women are more likely than their non-disabled counterparts to experience physical abuse and reproductive coercion, and both women and men with disabilities are more likely to experience stalking and psychological abuse. Because people with disabilities are often isolated and dependent on a small support circle, in nearly 100% of cases, survivors with disabilities experience abuse at the hands of someone they trust— usually a family member, intimate partner, or caregiver, including health aides and living facility attendants. A small circle of people also means fewer points of contact, and thus fewer opportunities to escape the cycle of abuse. Unsurprisingly, children with disabilities are disproportionately affected by various types of violence, they are more than twice as likely to be physically abused and almost twice as likely to be sexually abused. We must put disabled survivors at the forefront of the conversation to end domestic violence.
Understanding the unique struggles faced by the disabled community and other minorities is essential to providing comprehensive and sensitive care, developing appropriate preventative measures, and breaking stigmas and harmful social attitudes. Urgent Needs
