THE UNMASKED GALA
A community celebration of wellness!
Join Healing Arts Institute of South Florida as we step out in elegant high fashion at our
Unmasked “Masquerade” Gala!
Sunday, July 11th 2021
at a luxurious ocean front destination
The Conrad Hilton of Fort Lauderdale
The Experience starts 3:30PM and ends 8:00PM.
Join us as we “unmask” the stigma of mental health and embrace the opportunity to further strengthen our resilience, uncover our pain, and bring healing, hope and mental wellness to marginalized communities.
By working together, we can raise the funds needed to expand mental health services to underserved communities throughout Broward county.
Healing Arts Institute is growing larger every year, and we need your help to provide our no-cost mental health therapy and family services to underserved residents of Broward County.
It’s not easy offering top-of-the-line mental and behavioral therapy without your help, but together we can make a difference in the lives of children and families who would otherwise not be able to afford these services.
