NAMI Northern Lakes to host annual Iris Gala Saturday
NAMI Northern Lakes will host its annual Iris Gala on Saturday, April 18, at Holiday Acres Resort, bringing together community members, local businesses, and advocates for an evening dedicated to supporting mental health in the Northwoods.
The Iris Gala serves as NAMI Northern Lakes’ primary annual fundraiser, with proceeds directly supporting the organization’s mission to provide free mental health education, support, and advocacy throughout Oneida, Vilas, and Forest counties.
Guests can expect an evening of connection and purpose, featuring a plated dinner, dessert dash, raffles, and silent and live auctions, all centered around raising awareness to ensure that critical mental health resources remain accessible to those who need them most.
“Every dollar raised at the Iris Gala helps us continue offering our programs and services at no cost to the community,” said executive director Kristin Bonamo. “Mental health support should never be out of reach, and this event allows us to meet people where they are without barriers.”
NAMI Northern Lakes provides a wide range of services, including support groups, educational programs, and a drop-in center that serves as a safe and welcoming space for individuals and families navigating mental health challenges.
NAMI Northern Lakes continues to see growing demand for services across the Northwoods, makingcommunity support more important than ever.
Local businesses and community partners play a vital role in the success of the Iris Gala through sponsorships, donations, and volunteer support. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for those looking to make a meaningful impact.
