It All Starts Here

The gala brings together the people who make this mission possible: families, friends, artists, businesses, and advocates for prevention. Alongside donations and other events, their support helps sustain our work throughout the year.

You can take part by attending, discussing a sponsorship with us, or contributing an auction item. Each form of support helps us continue conversations about fentanyl, prevention, and emotional wellbeing across South Florida.

Join us for an evening of music, remembrance, and hope, and help carry this mission into another year.
