Join us for our 19th Annual Dinner on Monday, April 20, 2026 from 6:00 - 8:00pm at Stone Ridge Golf Club in Bowling Green. This year's theme “Hope Shines On” will highlight the positive impacts that mental health professionals and advocates have had on the community.

Annual Dinner guests are welcome to join us at 6:00PM when the doors open. At 6:30 PM, attendees will be welcomed by our staff, and enjoy a buffet-style dinner. There will be a special presentation on “Hope Shines On” by our Keynote speaker, Aeryn Williams and an awards ceremony to follow. Tickets for the event are $35.

To honor our volunteers, you can purchase a meal for a volunteer for an additional $35.

During our dinner, we will also have art for sale, created by individuals living with mental health conditions. All proceeds from these sales will go towards the artist. To view the artwork beforehand, please visit our shop.
