2025 Benefit Dinner | October 1

Please join us for an unforgettable evening of hope, featuring a candid conversation with actress and advocate Brooke Shields, special musical guest Tasha Layton, and Emcee Tammy Trent.

Your presence will support Araminta’s education, prevention, and survivor services programs to end the threat and trauma of child trafficking in Maryland.

About our Special Guest Actress, Model, Author, and Entrepreneur Brooke Shields: Ms. Shields began her accomplished professional career at only eleven months of age when she was selected as the Ivory Snow Baby, and by age three was a runway model. 

At age nine, Shields began her extensive film career when she won her first acting role in Alice Sweet Alice and rapidly gained fame after starring in Louis Malle’s Pretty Baby, the Palme D’or Award winner at the Cannes Film Festival, and the coming- of- age tales Blue Lagoon and Endless Love. She was recently honored as one of Glamour Magazine’s Women of the Year for 2023. 

As a model, she has graced the covers of hundreds of magazines, most notably TIME Magazine as the “Face of the Eighties”. Today, Shields continues her prolific appearances in a broad range of worldwide publications, decades after it all began.

The two-part documentary Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields (which screened to critical acclaim at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and garnered recent Emmy nominations) premiered on Hulu in April 2023. This galvanizing look at Shields as actor, model, and icon, as she transforms from a sexualized young girl to a woman discovering her power.

We are delighted to welcome Ms. Shields to hear her 

Tickets are free and will be available beginning July 1.
