Thank You for Making the Evening a Success!

What an incredible evening! We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for the World Mental Health Day Benefit 2026 and to everyone who supported the event through a donation.

Together, we surpassed our $10,000 fundraising goal, a tremendous milestone for Droste and an important step toward expanding access to affordable mental health care in New York City.

Every ticket purchased, donation made, and conversation shared helps advance Droste’s mission to make high-quality mental health services more accessible to children, adolescents, adults, and families who might otherwise go without care.

This evening was about more than raising funds. It was about coming together as a community and investing in a future where everyone has the opportunity to access the mental health support they need.

We could not have reached this milestone without you. Thank you to our guests, donors, supporters, and especially our sponsor, Charlie Health, for believing in Droste and helping us make this night, and this work, possible.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Droste Mental Health Services Team
