Wipe Every Tear's 6th Annual Gratitude Gala

We are so excited to host you at our annual gala! We invite you to come and celebrate with us. We will enjoy a meal together, hear stories of God's goodness in the sex trade, and celebrate through dance and live music!

Last year we provided 400 meals a day to women and their children exploited in the industry. We also saw many of our own girls graduate and secure job placements and homes. Our hearts are full of gratitude and we certainly have a reason to rejoyce!

Whether you are are new to the work of Wipe Every Tear or have faithfully supported us and cheered us along the way we would love to see you there. The work we do is only possible when a like-minded community comes together to see change. We could not do any of this without you, and of course without our King Jesus. So let's join together to honor our King, enjoy one another, and celebrate these stories of hope and freedom.

If you are a business owner we also offer table sponsorships for this event which includes a table for 8, promotional advertising, and drink coupons for the evening. Please email us for more information!

What are my transport/parking options for getting to the event?

Paid parking is available in Simplot’s below-ground parking garage. It is accessible from 11th St. between Front and Myrtle - or from Myrtle St. between 11th and 9th. Other recommended parking areas are the BODO or Hotel 43 garages on 9th and Front. They are across the street from JUMP and guests would use the nearest crosswalk and follow the sidewalk to our lobby doors (under the large, orange JUMP sign).

Option A: Simplot Co. garage under JUMP – opens at 4:00 pm for paid public parking. Two entrance points: 11th St and Myrtle St. If parking below JUMP you’ll find the bright, orange elevator vestibule and head directly to the 6th floor for your event. Exiting – There are three exit lanes: one to Myrtle St and two to 11th St. Paying in advance may speed up your exit, but if you have any issue press the call button to speak to a Car Park Attendant.

Option B: The 9th & Front garage (BODO garage) is across the street from JUMP – park and use the crosswalks on 9th St. Follow the sidewalks to the large, orange JUMP sign over the lobby doors.

Both garages are pay to park; JUMP does not validate. We greatly apologize for any inconvenience.
