Help raise $50,000 for programs and services designed to benefit people living with mental illness and their families.

Every guest, sponsorship, dollar donated, item gifted, or volunteer hour brings us closer to our vision of a compassionate community where everyone can build healthy, fulfilling lives!

Proceeds from Night Out for NAMI are thoughtfully invested in programs and services dedicated to improving access to mental health services, reducing stigma, increasing knowledge, and offering support.

This year’s theme is a Healing Art Gala where paintings, photography, mixed media, sketches, and other art from artists impacted by mental illness will tell stories of strength, survival, and healing. Selected artwork will be displayed, raffled, and auctioned alongside other donated items for a thoughtful, diverse array of options for our guests to enjoy. At Night Out for NAMI, we’ll celebrate the transformative power of creativity and community in supporting those living with mental illness and their families.
