Tesoro Club to Host Third Annual Amethyst Gala Benefiting Domestic Violence Survivors

Tesoro Club, the Treasure Coast's premier golf club community, will host the Third Annual Amethyst Gala on Friday, October 17, 2025, beginning at 6 p.m. The signature fundraising event, held during Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the Grand Clubhouse Ballroom, will benefit SafeSpace, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the only state-certified domestic violence center serving the Treasure Coast region. This partnership represents a significant community commitment to addressing domestic violence through both financial support and public awareness.

SafeSpace has demonstrated substantial impact since its founding, having provided more than 500,000 safe nights of shelter to over 40,000 victims and children. The organization has created financial and personal safety plans for hundreds of survivors, offered legal counsel to more than 450 individuals, and served nearly 1,500 children through specialized programming. These statistics underscore the critical need for continued community support to maintain and expand these essential services for vulnerable populations.

Timothy Jones, Tesoro Club Managing Partner, emphasized the broader significance of the event, stating that the Amethyst Gala represents more than just fundraising. The gala serves to raise awareness about domestic violence while bringing the community together to support SafeSpace's mission of providing essential services to survivors and their children. This community engagement aspect highlights how corporate and residential communities can play vital roles in addressing social issues.

The event will feature a cocktail reception sponsored by the Gabby Petito Foundation and GHO Homes, followed by a formal dinner, live music, dancing, and a live auction. All proceeds will support SafeSpace's emergency shelters, outreach advocacy, and other essential services that directly impact survivors' ability to rebuild their lives. The inclusion of multiple sponsors demonstrates growing corporate responsibility in addressing domestic violence within local communities.

Last year's event, supported by sponsors including Tesoro Club, Toll Brothers, and WCI/Lennar, successfully raised $150,000 to support SafeSpace's emergency shelters and outreach programs. This year's ambitious goal of $175,000 represents a 16.7% increase in fundraising targets, reflecting both growing community support and the increasing needs of domestic violence survivors. Individual tickets are priced at $250, with various sponsorship opportunities still available for businesses and individuals seeking to contribute to this important cause.

The continued partnership between Tesoro Club and SafeSpace illustrates how luxury residential communities can effectively leverage their resources and facilities to support critical social services. By hosting the Amethyst Gala during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the event gains additional significance in highlighting the ongoing need for support services and public education about domestic violence prevention. The funds raised will directly support SafeSpace's comprehensive programs, including shelter, legal advocacy, financial literacy, counseling, prevention education, and specialized children's services, ensuring survivors find refuge and the resources needed to build safe, independent lives.
