On March 27, 2026, we will gather for Illuminate, an evening designed to challenge and transform the way we experience healing and resilience.
Produced by AEN, the visionary production company behind AURORA, this immersive event will feature light, movement, and powerful installations that reflect the journey of reclaiming one’s story after trauma. It is not a passive event. It is meant to be felt, a night of engaging with art that honors the courage of survivors, invites reflection, and brings the spirit of resilience to life in bold, unexpected ways.
Stay tuned for information about individual tickets closer to the event date.
Thank you to our Illuminate 2026 Co-Chairs

Thank You for Joining Us at Illuminate 2025
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who attended Illuminate, DARCC’s inaugural fundraising event on March 28, 2025. Your presence helped us shine a powerful light on the mission of the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center and celebrate the compassionate community that makes our work possible.
From the breathtaking illuminated art under the stars—curated by AEN, the creators of AURORA—to the meaningful connections shared throughout the evening, it was a night to remember.
Relive the magic of the evening.
