Celebration of Hope - Annual Fundraising Gala
Join NAMI Metro Suburban on May 2, 2026, at the historic Nineteenth Century Club for the Celebration of Hope Gala, a vibrant evening of connection, creativity, and philanthropy spotlighting The Art of Healing.
Guests will enjoy an unforgettable night featuring a curated silent auction with exclusive items and experiences, all supporting free, community-based mental health services throughout West Suburban Cook County. Try your luck in our Golden Ticket Raffle for a chance to win an exciting trip to Las Vegas, and join the fun with Heads or Tails for additional prizes.
This year’s theme honors The Art of Healing - the deeply personal and creative ways individuals define recovery, wellness, and identity. Throughout the evening, guests will experience live painting and interactive art opportunities, celebrating creative expression as a powerful force in mental health recovery.
Every paddle raised, every bid placed, and every dollar spent directly supports lifesaving programs serving more than 20,000 of our most vulnerable community members each year. Join us for a delicious meal, a joyful celebration, and a powerful coming together of community as we honor the power of peers, the beauty of shared experience, and the enduring art of healing.
