Vibrant Gala

May 20, 2019

Vibrant’s commitment to transforming the emotional health of those in need is why this year, our Gala focused on the cornerstones of our work — Share. Connect. Heal. By reaching out and sharing support, we can all make a difference in the lives of those struggling.

This year, we are proud to have honored the Creator and Executive Producers – DJ Nash, James Griffiths, Dana Honor and Aaron Kaplan – of the ABC television series, A Million Little Things for their extraordinary vision and life-saving work. The visionaries behind this ABC family drama tell the powerful story of a group of friends who support one another and find healing after one of their close friends dies of suicide. Members of the A Million Little Things cast will was also recognized at the event. In addition, we are delighted to have honored Vibrant Board Member Charles P. Fitzgerald, Founder and Senior Managing Partner of V3 Capital Management, L.P. for his dedicated service and generous philanthropy to Vibrant and the mental health community.

Together, we can create a reality of emotional wellness for everyone by building meaningful connections that promote healing.
