About the Event

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to recognize what it takes for children and families to heal and move forward.

Join us for an unforgettable evening where your presence helps expand access to critical mental health care for youth across Oregon.

At Trillium’s Brighter Futures Celebration, you are part of a community that believes every child deserves the chance to heal, grow, and thrive. Your support makes that possible by connecting young people and families to the care they need, when they need it most.

We are honored to welcome Jay Ellis as this year’s Mental Health Impact Award recipient and keynote speaker. Known for his roles in Insecure and Top Gun: Maverick, and as the author of Did Everyone Have an Imaginary Friend (Or Just Me)?, Jay brings a thoughtful and personal perspective to conversations about identity, resilience, and mental health.

Throughout the evening, you will hear directly from children and families whose lives have been changed through Trillium’s programs. Their stories reflect what your support makes possible.

The evening includes a reception, dinner and program, auction, and an opportunity to invest in the next phase of care for youth and families across Oregon.

This is an opportunity to take part in something that matters.
Be part of the impact.
