About Us

As a nonprofit charity in its 25th year, Art & Creativity for Healing invites your company to partner with us by sponsoring our our Black & White 25th Anniversary Gala Ball. This all-inclusive evening includes dinner, casino tables, live and silent auctions, and an open bar and will be held on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at the Ambassador Event Center in Irvine, California.

All proceeds go directly to support our free programs in the community to help further our mission: to support emotional healing through art and creative expression for those living in pain, grief, fear or stress in support of mental health.

Since 2000, we have served over 100,000 children and adults by providing free Art4Healing workshops to over 40 partner agencies. Our goal for 2025 is to meet the funding needs of our core community nonprofit partner programs, which include:

• “Creative Tools for Homeless Children and their Families Program,” serving children and families experiencing homelessness in Orange County.
• “Out of the Darkness: Women Survivors Program,” helping women who are survivors of domestic violence.
• “Vintage Colors: Art4Healing Over 60,” helping the underserved, low-income senior population in Orange County.
• “Raging Colors: Expressive Painting for Teens,” supporting the mental health of at-risk youth.
• “Healing for Heroes and their Families,” providing workshops to Wounded Warriors, local military families, and children on the Camp Pendleton Marine Base.
• “Exceptional Families: Children, Teens and their Families with Developmental Disorders,” for children/adults with developmental disorders or intellectual disabilities and their caregivers.

Our 2025 dinner & auction gala will draw 250 attendees and raise over $100,000 to support our free Art4Healing programs for children and adults. With the support we receive each year from this event, we can continue providing free workshops to help those in need and their mental health.

As a sponsor, you would be giving more than just a dollar amount, you would be giving pain a voice with art. I have attached a list of sponsorship opportunities. This unique gala has sold out for the past 5 years and we encourage you to secure your sponsor tables before January 15, 2025.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@art4healing.org or 949-367-1902.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and spirit of giving.
