NOVA’s Gala Game Night in Warrington

NOVA, Bucks County’s comprehensive crime victim services agency, invites all to their Gala Game Night, a night of laughter, connection, and impact coming soon to nearby Warrington, where all proceeds will support NOVA’s free, confidential services for children and adults and its wide-ranging violence prevention programs.

Nova will host the event on Friday, April 17, at 6 p.m. at The Warrington on 1360 Almshouse Rd.

Gala Game Night features a beer and wine bar, four-course dinner, silent auction, trivia challenge, and live music by The Zone pop/rock band. The main event is a Family Feud–style showdown hosted by comedian Adam Ace.

This is NOVA’s biggest event of the year, supporting programs and services that make a real impact. Unlock a full roster of experiences, shows, lessons, and deluxe dinners at the Gala Game Night silent auction, including:

• Above the Rest. Soar above Doylestown on a breathtaking aerial flight with sweeping regional views—and capture a stunning drone shot of your own home for a keepsake memory.
• Tee Time. Bid on rounds of golf at premier courses including Five Ponds Golf Course and Neshaminy Valley Golf Club, plus other exclusive locations
• Oh So Suite. Take home a Kate Spade Chelsea Nylon Weekender Bag and enjoy an overnight stay in a suite at the historic, beautifully renovated Washington House in Sellersville, PA.

Robert Thomas and John Sentell are on deck as Honorary Social Chairs for Gala Game Night. This power-couple brings skill, strategy, and heart to the field—Robert as founder of Thomas Black Landscaping, and John as a master salon professional and educator. United by a shared mission, they’re playing for something bigger: supporting survivors, amplifying victims’ voices, and making sure every story is heard, believed, and backed by real action.

NOVA provides help and hope for everyone affected by crime. Services include a 24-7 victim Helpline, forensic exams, child-centered response for children who have been sexually or physical abused, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy provided in office, home or schools, and legal advocacy and support through the criminal justice system. NOVA also offers prevention education and professional training across Bucks County to help keep communities safe.

“We’re thrilled to bring our community together for an evening of fun and friendship while supporting NOVA’s vital mission,” said Penelope Ettinger, Executive Director, NOVA. “Every dollar raised at our Gala Game Night directly supports survivors of crime and abuse in Bucks County. When our community comes together like this, we’re changing lives and showing survivors that they are not alone.”
