Grammy-award winner Sara Bareilles performed at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester on Oct. 6 to commemorate three decades of Pace Women’s Justice Center (PWJC) protecting thousands of women and children.
Sara Bareilles recently ran as “The Baker’s Wife” in the hit revival of “Into the Woods” on Broadway. Her music has been self-described as “piano-based pop-soul” and her powerful lyrics give voice to the difficult journey from victim to survivor for PWJC’s clients.
The Pace Women’s Justice Center is a self-funded nonprofit legal center located at Elisabeth Haub School of Law, under the 501(c)(3) status of Pace University. Each year, PWJC provides free legal services to over 3,500 victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and elder abuse, as well as conducts or participates in over 140 training and outreach events.
The fundraising event’s title, Raising the Bar Benefit Concert, is a nod to PWJC’s commitment to increasing access to justice and providing free critical legal services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The money raised will help PWJC to continue helping their clients on their journeys toward empowerment and healing.
Each October the nonprofit honors an individual who has dedicated themselves to supporting the PWJC mission and its clients with a Making a Difference Award. This year the award was given to Pam Kaufman, President, and CEO of International Markets, Global Consumer Products & Experiences at Paramount Global. Legendary music icon Darryl “DMC” McDaniels from Run DMC presented her with the award.
