The Samaritan Center’s Every Mind Matters Gala was an unforgettable evening of celebration, storytelling, and community impact, bringing together partners, donors, advocates, and community members in support of accessible mental health services throughout our region. This year’s gala was both a joyful celebration and a powerful reminder of the life-changing work made possible through community support.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, the 2026 Every Mind Matters Gala raised over $50,000 in support of accessible mental health care through Samaritan Center!

From inspiring stories and impactful program highlights to laughter, celebration, and dancing the night away, this evening was a powerful reminder that every mind truly matters.
