Chizuk Amuno Congregation
Our 2025 VOICES event was a success, with a record number of attendees. At the event, we were honored to mark CHANA’s 30th anniversary of providing vital services to victims and survivors of abuse. We also honored our visionary founder, Brenda Brown Rever, whose leadership laid the foundation for CHANA’s enduring impact.
We’re thankful to our keynote speaker, Dr. Naomi Baum, our co-lead sponsors Lou Hyman and the Marvin H. Weiner Foundation, our founding sponsors Brenda Brown Rever and Howard Brown, and to our many sponsors whose support made the evening — and our work — possible.
