In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, The Belonging Lab invites you to an elegant evening dedicated to connection, compassion, and community impact.
This red carpet benefit gala will bring together community leaders, advocates, creatives, and special guests for a thoughtfully curated night celebrating the power of belonging as a foundation for mental well-being. Guests will enjoy a refined cocktail-style experience featuring gourmet hors d’oeuvres, artisanal desserts, and curated beverages, alongside live performances and meaningful moments of recognition.
The evening will include:
A red carpet arrival with professional photography
Awards honoring community members advancing mental health and belonging
Special performances throughout the evening
A curated silent auction featuring unique experiences and offerings
Music and dancing in an elevated, celebratory atmosphere
This event serves as a fundraiser for The Belonging Lab, a San Diego–based nonprofit focused on improving mental health through belonging-centered, community-based initiatives. Our fundraising goal for the evening is $25,000, which will directly support programs that reduce isolation, strengthen emotional resilience, and provide preventative care through connection.
Designed as an intimate, two-hour benefit, this gathering is both celebratory and purposeful — marking Mental Health Awareness Month with action, generosity, and shared commitment.
Formal attire encouraged.
