In October, Standpoint hosted its Stand with Standpoint Fall Fundraiser — an inspiring evening filled with celebration, community, and joy. Supporters from across Minnesota gathered to honor this year’s Journey of Hope award recipients: Joy BeitzelSheng Lor, and Julie Kosen, whose leadership and advocacy continue to bring safety, justice, and dignity to domestic and sexual violence victim/survivors.

Guests enjoyed a powerful night of storytelling and solidarity while raising crucial funds to support Standpoint’s statewide legal and advocacy services. The event also brought a burst of joy and laughter with Drag Bingo, a crowd favorite that combined entertainment with purpose.

We are deeply grateful to our Impact Level sponsor, American National Bank, and our Hope Level sponsors — Nilan Johnson Lewis, Saul Ewing, and Storms Dworak — for their leadership and generosity. We also thank our raffle item donors, whose contributions helped create an evening of joy, connection, and meaningful impact.

Thank you to everyone who stood with us, we raised $11,695— your generosity fuels our mission and ensures survivors have access to the support, representation, and hope they deserve.


All proceeds go to help Standpoint continue to provide FREE legal advice and advocacy to domestic and sexual violence survivors, and their providers, in Minnesota.
