Executive Director, Prevail Inc.
As we step into 2026, I am filled with gratitude and excitement as Prevail officially kicks off our 40th Anniversary Year. For the last four decades, survivors have trusted Prevail to walk alongside them with compassion, advocacy, and hope.
That legacy continues because of our community.
In 2025, we focused on embedding ourselves more deeply within the community. We spent time listening, learning, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring survivor voices guided our work. That foundation has prepared us well for what comes next.
Now, as we enter the second year of our strategic plan, we are excited to intentionally invite the community to engage with us to learn, to support, to partner, and to stand with survivors in meaningful ways. Whether through education, prevention, advocacy, or philanthropy, there is a place for everyone in this work.
Our 40th year is not just a milestone, it is a moment to look forward. We are energized by what lies ahead and deeply thankful for each person who continues to believe in Prevail’s mission.
Together, we will keep building a safer, more supportive Hamilton County community for survivors for generations to come.
