NAMI Spring Gala - May 2, 2026

Join us at the Sunset Ridge Country Club for an evening of support and camaraderie to support mental health. Our Gala this year will give a nod to the Kentucky Derby and Derby attire, including hats are welcome. Celebrating its 20th year, the 2025 NAMI CCNS Gala is one of the most notable events in the Chicagoland. The NAMI CCNS Gala has raised over $2MM to help fund NAMI CCNS’s core mental health programs, courses and support groups. The evening supports NAMI CCNS’s work in 17 communities in the North Suburban Chicago area.
