NASSAU COUNTY, New York (WABC) -- On what would have been her 26th birthday, officials in Nassau County honored Gabby Petito and are helping to raise awareness about domestic violence.

Nassau County leaders were on hand Wednesday to announce that Miller's Ale House in Levittown will donate 20% of sales on Thursday to the Foundation.

It comes at a time when the domestic violence safe center in Nassau has ironically shut down.

Nassau County is currently looking for new partners to run the safe center and make it better. Blakeman stressed that the county already has the toughest laws on the books to fight domestic violence.

"Here in Nassau County, it's a mandatory arrest if there's a misdemeanor, so we take it very, very seriously," Blakeman said.
