Unmasking the Mind Masquerade Gala (1)

About this event

Welcome to the Unmasking the Mind Masquerade Gala

Join Elaining Hands for an unforgettable evening of elegance, inspiration, and purpose as we come together to raise awareness for mental health and help break the stigma surrounding mental illness.

This special event is more than a masquerade—it is a movement. Behind every mask is a story, and every story deserves compassion, hope, and healing. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy a formal dinner, live entertainment, dancing, inspiring stories, community awards, exciting raffles, a silent auction, and opportunities to make a lasting impact in the lives of individuals and families affected by mental health challenges.

Founded in loving memory of Portia Elaine McCray, Elaining Hands is dedicated to increasing mental health awareness, connecting individuals with resources, and creating safe spaces where people feel seen, heard, and supported.

Whether you attend to honor a loved one, support the cause, or simply enjoy an elegant evening with friends, your presence helps us continue our mission of bringing hope and healing to our community.
