The ladies of the MHARS Board of Lorain County had a great time at the 15th Annual Pajama Party benefiting Lorain County Safe Harbor. Every dollar raised goes directly to provide lifesaving, emergency shelter and support for domestic violence survivors. The night was filled with good food, pajama contests and raffle baskets. This year featured the first keynote speaker, Kionna McIntosh-Pharms, who shared story as a domestic violence survivor.
