Awards Gala
The PM Foundation's Annual Awards Gala is an annual fundraiser and inspirational event aimed at highlighting mental health awareness and supportive services while celebrating the resilience and innovation of mental health champions within our communities.
A Night to Remember!
The 2nd Annual Awards Gala was a SOLD-OUT success, raising more than $71,000 for mental wellness! Every moment was unforgettable, from casino games to live jazz, signature cocktails, and awards honoring four mental health champions.
