The 11th Annual AIM Youth Mental Health Gala brought together youth advocates, community leaders, and supporters for an unforgettable night of purpose and celebration. With Broadway stars Aisha Jackson (The Great Gatsby) and Ryan Vasquez (Hamilton, The Notebook) delivering powerful performances — and Wells Adams from The Bachelor guiding the evening as host — the Gala blended inspiration, entertainment, and impact.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Gala raised over $525,000 to advance AIM’s mission: accelerating scientific research, expanding youth-led programs, and ensuring young people can access the care and support they need.
Funds from the Gala will:
Advance AIM’s Suicide Prevention Fund, driving research and interventions that support youth in urgent need
Expand youth-led research through the AIM Ideas Lab, empowering high school students to design and lead their own mental health initiatives
Support scalable, evidence-based solutions poised for implementation in schools and communities nationwide
The evening was elevated by the incredible support of our partners, including:
Neft Vodka
The Caviar Co.
Reynolds, Wrath, Bernardus, Scheid, I. Brand, and Morgan wineries
Additional auction partners and in-kind supporters who helped make the event extraordinary
AIM is deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this night possible — attendees, partners, performers, donors, youth ambassadors, and the wider community. Together, we are pushing forward a new era of youth mental health support driven by research, innovation, and youth voice.
We are so grateful for our Gala Sponsors. We couldn’t work towards a world of mentally healthy youth without you!
