The 9th Annual AIM Youth Mental Health Gala
Thursday, September 14
AIM Youth Mental Health is excited to announce our 9th Annual Gala at The Inn at Spanish Bay Grand Ballroom in Pebble Beach. We invite you to join us on Thursday, September 14, for a memorable evening as we raise funds to support youth mental health.
This year’s Gala features a performance straight from Broadway with the leads from Hamilton, accompanied by a local teen choir.
Your support of the 9th Annual Gala assists as we bridge the gap between research and access to care for youth struggling with their mental health by finding, funding and implementing evidence-based treatments, empowering youth to discover their own mental health solutions, and training caring adults to create a safe holding place for children, teens, and young adults.
