Rogers Foundation’s Celebrate the Light Gala isn’t just an event—it’s a movement wrapped in sparkle, story, and purpose. It’s where people who believe in healing, hope, and mental health come together—not just to give, but to ignite something bigger than themselves.
The night buzzes with possibility. From moving moments to meaningful connections, it’s a space where lived experience meets lived passion. Where advocates, survivors, families, and friends gather not only to celebrate—but to carry the light forward for those still finding their way.
It’s not about gowns or glitz—it’s about standing up, showing up, and shining bright for the cause we all carry close to our hearts.
Join us. Let’s dance, laugh, give, and grow—because together, we’re illuminating the path to mental health for all.
