You're invited!
Join us for an inspiring evening at the 3rd annual SAFE Gala: An Evening of Giving on May 8, 2025, at the Lakeview Pavilion (Foxboro, MA) in support of our mission to be a compassionate, judgment-free community organization for those affected by substance use disorder and mental health concerns.
Enjoy a gourmet dinner, live music, empowering guest speakers, and exciting silent and live auctions—all while helping us break down barriers to treatment and support across southeastern Massachusetts.
Attend as a Guest
Whether you’re attending as an individual or bringing a group, you can secure a seat or purchase a table to enjoy the event while supporting a vital cause. Your participation will help raise essential funds for SAFE’s programs, which provide life-changing services for individuals and families affected by substance use and mental health challenges.
Purchase a Sponsorship Package
Make an even greater impact by becoming a sponsor of the gala! Your business will receive prominent recognition before, during, and after the event, including special mention in our event materials, on social media, and at the Gala. Sponsorship opportunities are a great way to show your commitment to strengthening our community while gaining exposure for your organization.
Participate in the Silent and Live Auctions
Get involved by donating an item or experience for our silent and live auctions, or by placing a bid on unique items. Donations—whether a memorable experience, a gift certificate, or an item that aligns with your mission—will directly benefit individuals in need of support. Donors and bidders will be recognized at the event and on our website and social media, offering great visibility while supporting a cause that makes a real difference.
We look forward to your participation and appreciate your support in making this event a success!
