PAVSA has worked with and provided critical services to victims and survivors of sexual assault for over 31 years. PAVSA operates a 24-hour crisis line and maintains a full time staff as well as approximately 40 volunteer advocates who, together, guarantee support for victims any time of the day or night all year long. We serve more than 700 victims every year while also consistently training and educating community organizations, human service professionals, students, educators, mental health providers, medical professionals, law enforcement, prosecutors, and more.

A large portion of PAVSA’s mission is accomplished by funds obtained through the annual Art Auction. The generous support of businesses, artists, and auction attendees is crucial to victims of sexual assault across our community. The Art Auction provides a unique opportunity for the community to come together in an effort to end sexual violence with financial support to our services. The PAVSA Art Auction features both a live and silent auction with original paintings, watercolors, jewelry, photography, sculptures, quilting, gift certificates, and much more. Please join us for an evening of fun and contribute to services which work tirelessly towards the elimination of sexual violence in Southern St. Louis County.
