2025 Heroes for Hope Gala

Thanks to our incredible community's generosity and support, our 2025 Heroes for Hope Gala raised an astounding $172,000 — with over 280 attendees joining us in celebration and $55,000 raised from the paddle raiser and raffle tickets alone.

 

This generous support is already making stories like this possible: 
 

One individual came to us over a year ago, lost and out of options — he found safety in our support groups, a peer to walk beside him, and a recovery housing grant. Today, he’s back — not for help, but to train in our academy to become a peer himself and turn his pain into a purpose helping others. 

 

This is the kind of impact your support makes possible. Because of you, we can continue offering FREE, life-changing programs and peer training that empower people to reclaim their lives and give back to their communities. See some of the highlights of the night and find your Photo Booth pics!

Thank you Heroes for Hope 2025 Sponsors!
