Fresh Start – Saturday, September 19
5 p.m. to 12 a.m. – The Compton Bentonville

Sure to be our biggest and best yet, Fresh Start 2026 will mark a truly special milestone – 40 years of the Northwest Arkansas Women’s Shelter supporting survivors. We would be honored to have you join us for our signature fundraising gala, a glamorous and fun-filled evening at the brand-new Compton Hotel in downtown Bentonville. Dubbed “the most fun fundraiser in Northwest Arkansas,” this unforgettable night of vintage glamour and gaming promises to be filled with exceptional food and drinks, a silent auction, casino games, and more.

For the first time, we’re extending the celebration with an exclusive after-party featuring a DJ, dancing, and even more good times! It’s sure to be an incredible night of fun and generosity, because when our community comes together, survivors find safety, hope, and a path forward.
