An Evening with Rachael Denhollander
2025-09-18 18:00 - 20:00
Join Rachael Denhollander: Survivor and first public whistle blower in the criminal case against USA Gymnastic Team doctor Larry Nassar, one of the most prolific sexual abusers in recorded history. Rachael will offer valuable insight into how the individuals within a community, far too often, contribute to the empowerment of perpetrators and compound the wounding of victims. Learn from her expertise and experience how we can build safer, more faithful, and more accountable churches and communities for ourselves and our children. For tickets and more information visit: www.aagoneday.com/rachaeldenhollander
Please note: While this event will include discussion of how to create safer faith communities, Brigid Collins Family Support Center is not a faith-based organization and is not affiliated with any church or religion. We’ll be in attendance to support survivors and connect with our community.
