Southern Nevada First Responder Mental Health Gala

In the heart of Southern Nevada, a profound event is set to unfold—an event that transcends the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip and delves deep into the resilient spirits of our local heroes. The First Annual Southern Nevada First Responders Gala is dedicated to honoring those who have walked through the darkest of tunnels, faced the storm of mental health crises, and emerged as beacons of hope.

As the city’s neon lights illuminate the skyline, we gather to pay tribute to our courageous first responders. These individuals, often on the frontlines of chaos and despair, have saved lives and navigated the treacherous waters of their own mental well-being. Through their remarkable stories of resilience, we invite you to step into their shoes, feel the weight of their burdens, and gain a profound understanding of the epidemic silently gripping our heroes.

But our evening is not just about the heroes themselves; it’s also a solemn occasion to remember those who fought bravely but, tragically, couldn’t overcome the overwhelming challenges they faced. We extend our heartfelt honors to the families of first responders who lost their loved ones while bearing the unbearable weight of witnessing the darkest aspects of humanity. These families share their cherished memories, immortalizing their lives and shedding light on the unforgiving world our first responders inhabit.

Beyond the tears and the heartache, this gala holds a purpose beyond measure. It is a fundraiser for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police’s Wellness Bureau—a lifeline for our Southern Nevada first responders. The funds raised tonight will fuel the bureau’s essential programs and services, offering support, solace, and hope to those who selflessly serve and protect our community.

Our evening’s agenda is as follows:

Check-in: 5:00 p.m.
Cocktail and Silent Auction: 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Program and Dinner: 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

The program promises many impactful moments, including a keynote speaker whose words will inspire and resonate with all attending. Through powerful video stories of loss and recovery, we aim to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health, paving the way for a brighter and more compassionate future for our first responders.
