The Asheville nonprofit Our Voice holds its biggest fundraiser of the year with an online event Thursday, March 11, featuring Chanel Miller, the survivor of a 2015 attack at Stanford University.

Miller, who faced her assailant in court, read a victim impact statement that deeply resonated with listeners and those who read it later.
