Lanaya Gutowski’s commitment to A Safe Place has been nothing short of extraordinary. For the past 12 years, her vision and passion have fueled EmpoweRally, transforming it into our longest-running third-party event and a vital part of our yearly efforts. Because of her continued support, countless survivors have been given the opportunity to heal, rebuild, and thrive.
