Silent no more: Shining a light on men’s mental health
At the 2025 Celebrate the Light Gala, we’re putting men’s mental health front and center through powerful stories, heartfelt moments, and meaningful connections. We’ll honor the courage of those who’ve struggled in silence and celebrate the strength it takes to speak up.
Join us as we stand against stigma and stand up for change, carrying the light forward for every man still finding his voice.

Your support of the Gala helps remove barriers that stand in the way of healing. No one should be denied life-changing mental health care because of cost. Yet too many families face impossible choices when insurance falls short or resources run out. Patient Care Grants change that. They provide help at the very moment it’s needed most, opening the door to recovery and renewed hope. Each grant represents not just treatment, but the gift of time, compassion, and a real chance at recovery.
We are honored to welcome Brian Cuban as our keynote speaker at the 2025 Celebrate the Light Gala. A nationally recognized author and mental health advocate, Brian will share his personal journey with body image and addiction—bringing powerful awareness to the often-overlooked experiences of men. Through honesty, resilience, and hope, Brian reminds us that recovery is possible—and no one has to face it alone.
In this compelling episode from Rise Above: a podcast from Rogers Behavioral Health, Brian Cuban opens up about his deeply personal journey through eating disorders, addiction, and the path to recovery.
Complimentary parking is available in front and adjacent to the Garage at the Harley-Davidson Museum.
Rev up your style! Channel sleek sophistication with a mix of industrial edge and elegant flair.

Whether it’s a sleek blouse, dressed-up denim, cool blazer, or bold accessories, show up in effortless style with a modern shine.
Flow from station to station indulging in a delectable array of small plate entrees and gourmet bites. But don’t let these small plates fool you – they may be petite in size, but you won’t leave hungry!
