Join us for a night of courageous storytelling, with professional storytellers bringing you fun, heartwarming tales, and leaving the floor open for you to share bravely as well.After months of seeing people struggle with distancing and isolation, two friends sat down together (at a distance!) and decided to create a virtual storytelling event and fundraiser to bring folks together. Enjoy a laid-back night that will bring you delight and a sense of bravery in yourself, while also helping to raise money for the Compass Center of NC in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.The Compass Center is Orange County&#x27;s local domestic violence agency that provides crisis services, self-sufficiency services like financial and career planning, prevention education, and soon, emergency housing for survivors of domestic abuse.
