Join Us for Shades of Hope!
Every year, human trafficking touches communities right here in St. Louis and across Missouri, often hiding in plain sight. At Gateway Alliance Against Human Trafficking (GAHT), we believe prevention starts with education, and education starts with people like you.
Our Annual Dinner, Shades of Hope, is more than an evening out, it’s a gathering of individuals, families, and organizations who believe that awareness and action can change lives. This special evening brings our community together to celebrate the progress we’ve made, honor the survivors and advocates who inspire our work, and raise vital funds to expand our reach.
Your support helps power programs like Breaking the Chains of Human Trafficking (BCHT), which equips schools, youth, parents, educators, first responders, and community partners with the knowledge and tools to recognize and prevent trafficking before it happens. From classroom trainings to community workshops, every dollar raised at Shades of Hope goes directly toward protecting the most vulnerable among us, including children.
We invite you to join us for an evening of connection, inspiration, and hope. Stand with us as we work toward a St. Louis where every person is safe, informed, and empowered.
Together, we can turn awareness into action and hope into change.
Thank you for being part of the light.
Join us for an unforgettable evening as we come together in support of Gateway Alliance Against Human Trafficking’s mission to prevent trafficking and protect our community.
Special thanks to our 2026 Sponsors!
