RUFS Foundation, 6th Annual Elegant Affair

Rufs Foundation, 6 th Annual Elegant Affair
Terry & Cheryl Hughey, Founders of the RUFS Foundation
As founders of the RUFS Foundation, we are committed to strengthening the support system for
victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault throughout our community. What began
as a response to the lack of accessible resources and dedicated support services has become a mission
centered around healing, dignity, and rebuilding lives.
Through the RUFS Foundation, we provide survivors with counseling, therapy referrals, legal
advocacy, financial assistance, and connections to emergency services. We continue to expand our
outreach and prepare to launch transitional housing services that will offer long-term stability and a
pathway toward independence for those who need it most.
Everything we do is driven by our belief that survivors deserve compassion, respect, and the
opportunity to rise from silence into strength. Our work is made possible through community
partnerships, outreach, fundraisers, and the generous support of those who believe in our mission.
