Coat Check will be available outside the Khorassan Ballroom, next to Registration. 

Registration

Registration opens at 6:15pm outside the Khorassan Ballroom. Every guest will need to check-in with their virtual ticket. We will have four tables designated for check-in and one table will be designated for our guests that have added their payment method on file prior to the event. This table will be our “fast pass” line and will have a quick and easy check-in process! The other three tables will be used for guests that did not save a payment method on file prior to the event. For those guests, we will add your payment method then.

Payment Methods

With the system we are using this year, every guest must have a payment method on file to purchase raffle tickets, contribute to Fund-A-Need, and bid on live auction items. The system does not recognize a household, so if you share a payment method with a significant other, please make sure that payment method is listed on both of your separate Gala accounts!

Golden Ticket

Golden tickets can be purchased for $100 per ticket. With each purchase you will have a chance to win a live auction item of your choosing! Drawing will be held before dinner. 

You must be present to win. Only 100 tickets being sold!

Fund-A-Need

The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program is a collaboration between law enforcement and the mental health treatment community. CIT trains and supports law enforcement to respond effectively to incidents involving individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. As a result, those individuals will not be unnecessarily jailed due to behavior resulting from their illness, but will instead gain access to emergency, inpatient, and community-based mental health treatment services. We train over 400 first responders per year. This program is provided at no cost to participants.

Fund-A-Need

NAMI Family Support Group is peer-led and for any adult with a loved one who has or is experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. The group helps members gain insight from the challenges and successes of others facing similar experiences. The support group is offered in-person and virtually and provided at no cost to participants.

Fund-A-Need

NAMI Ending the Silence (ETS) is an in-school presentation designed to teach middle and high school students about the signs and symptoms of mental health conditions, how to recognize the early warning signs and the importance of acknowledging those warning signs. This presentation is also offered to staff and/or families and is provided at no cost to participants.
