Nearly 400 sponsors, donors and supporters were surrounded with the sights and sounds of an exclusive 1920’s jazz infused nightclub staged Under the Eiffel Tower at the Foundation’s signature destination themed gala. Guests generously bid on hundreds of one-of-a-kind trips such as the Music for Mental Health Festival experience of a lifetime at the Staglin Family Vineyards in Napa, amazing jewelry and many other unique experiences and items during the live and silent auction all donated in-kind by our community and tirelessly collected by our amazing committee. Donors raised their paddles to offer hope to the wounded and affected, their families and our community and successfully raised $420,000 to offer our clients continued hope for personal growth. The Fund-A-Need during the live auction specifically focused on the need for emergency inpatient treatment for our community’s children. In just a matter of minutes, donors reached deep into their pockets and donated $193,000 for the Children’s Crisis Stabilization Unit. For this, we offer our humble appreciation to everyone who supported the gala and to our amazing co-chairs Caryn Buechel and Amanda Jaron and honorary co-chairs Jacques and Lysielle Cariot for leading the way.
