Boca Raton, FL – The trauma and horror of being a human kidnapping victim are difficult to relay, even to those who want to help. Only a person who has endured, survived and even triumphed, following such an ordeal, can truly understand. To help others grasp the enormity of what it is like to be a victim – and then a survivor – Elizabeth Smart will share her experience, as the keynote speaker at the 7th Annual Angel Moms Brunch and Benefit on Tuesday, March 31, 2020.

On June 5, 2002, the abduction of Elizabeth Smart was one of the most followed child abduction and child
abuse cases of our time. Elizabeth has become an advocate for change related to child abduction,
child recovery programs and national child safety legislation. Elizabeth’s recovery continues to

motivate parents, law enforcement and leaders worldwide.

This event is to benefit CALM, a local non profit organization who's mission is to prevent childhood trauma,
heal children and families, and build resilient communities throughout Santa Barbara County.
