Members of the 7th Judicial Domestic Violence Task Force drop in to chat about their upcoming fundraiser "Safety Can't Wait" which is in support of the building of San Juan Landing - a 10-unit long-term housing facility dedicated to domestic violence victims, their families, and pets. Tickets are available online, or at at the door. Tickets can also be purchased anonymously for those who cannot attend but want to show their support (you can enter the name of Jane Doe or John Doe).
Don't miss this important evening (Saturday, October 17 at the Montrose Pavillion - 1800 Pavilion Drive) in support of an important cause!
Thank you to Chantelle Bainbridge, Lisa Kuczmarski, Cynthia Barbosa, Shelly Fellin and Tabitha Champlin for popping in to chat on Mountain Echo. And thank you for your hard work for our communities and for bringing the concept of San Juan Landing to fruition!
What you can expect at Safety Can't Wait:
Gabby Petito's stepfather, James Schmidt and Colorado Deputy Attorney General Janet Drake are featured speakers taking the stage from 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm on Saturday, October 17th, 2026 at the Montrose Pavilion.
The Gabby Petito story addresses tragic aspects of domestic violence and missing persons. Additional topics will include increasing trends, how law enforcement and judicial processes work to keep members of our communities safe and the great need for secure long-term housing to help break this cycle.
A silent art auction will run in the Pavilion Lobby before, during, and after the event, closing at 8:00 pm.
Proceeds from the art auction and the "Safety Can't Wait" ticket sales go towards the construction of San Juan Landing, a 10-unit long-term housing facility dedicated to domestic violence victims, their families, and pets.
Safety Can't Wait, and we are thankful you are helping to bring security to those in need!
