Benefitting the Rape Recovery Center
The Evening
About the Event
Beta Theta Pi's annual formal fundraising event dedicated to raising awareness and financial support for survivors of sexual assault. The evening brings together students, alumni, community members, and local businesses to support the Rape Recovery Center while celebrating the impact our community can make together.
Sexual assault affects individuals and communities every day. Blue Tie Gala provides critical funding and awareness for the Rape Recovery Center, helping ensure survivors have access to advocacy, counseling, crisis intervention, and other essential resources. Beyond fundraising, the event encourages conversations about empathy, prevention, and creating a culture of support.
All proceeds from the event support the Rape Recovery Center, a nonprofit dedicated to providing free, confidential services to survivors of sexual violence and educating the community to prevent sexual assault.
Our Mission
To raise awareness and funds for the Rape Recovery Center while empowering our community to support survivors and help prevent sexual violence.
Theme & Vision 2026
Last year, we challenged ourselves to be the spark, to set an example for what it means to respect and support all. This year, we want to recognize that lasting change isn't built by individuals alone, but by communities committed to a common cause. We are grateful to be already surrounded by many wonderful communities here in Salt Lake, at the University of Utah and in Beta.
Our mission is to inspire our local communities to establish cultures of change. Creating a community for change reflects our mission by recognizing that this goal cannot be accomplished alone. It will require the combined efforts of our fraternity, our alumni association, Betas around the country, the University of Utah, and the greater Salt Lake City community.
Every contribution will help us build a community whose efforts support our local Rape Recovery Center and reflect its mission. Together, we can create a community based on empathy, compassion, a desire to change and support survivors.
Who We Are & Who We Support
Beta Theta Pi is one of North America's oldest and largest fraternities, founded in 1839 and built on the principles of mutual assistance, intellectual growth, trust, responsible conduct, and personal integrity. The Gamma Beta Chapter at the University of Utah carries these values forward through service, leadership, and engagement with our campus and city.
Blue Tie Gala is our chapter's signature philanthropy event — a night where our members, alumni, and the greater Salt Lake City community come together to turn those values into direct, tangible support for survivors of sexual assault.
The Rape Recovery Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free, confidential services to survivors of sexual violence. Their work includes advocacy, therapy, crisis intervention, and prevention education for the greater Salt Lake City community.
Every dollar raised through Blue Tie Gala goes directly toward sustaining this critical work — ensuring survivors have access to the care and resources they need, and helping build a culture that prevents sexual violence before it happens.
