You're invited...

Join Rogers Behavioral Health Foundation for our signature fundraising event of the year—the 2025 Celebrate the Light Gala, an unforgettable evening of inspiration, community, and hope.

This year’s theme, More than a body: Reclaiming identity and wellness, is a powerful call to challenge stereotypes, break the silence, and spark honest conversations about eating disorders and body image. For too long, these struggles have been hidden behind stigma and shame—especially for those whose experiences fall outside the traditional narrative. Together, we’ll uplift voices, share stories, and affirm the truth: healing is not only possible—it’s powerful.

Held at The Garage at The Harley Davidson Museum, this one-of-a-kind gala swaps the traditional sit-down dinner for a vibrant evening of fun, flavor, and philanthropy. Savor gourmet small plates and bite-sized indulgences as you mingle in one of Milwaukee’s most iconic venues.

Be inspired by keynote speaker Brian Cuban, nationally recognized author and advocate, who will share his courageous journey of recovery and his mission to break the stigma surrounding eating disorders.

Enjoy lively conversation, capture a photo with Brian, and bid on exclusive items in our exciting silent auction—all while helping transform lives through Rogers Foundation’s life-changing programs and initiatives.

Let’s come together in celebration, in purpose, and in the belief that we are all more than a body.
