As we honor Mental Health Awareness Month, we are reminded of the urgent and ongoing need to uplift mental health initiatives - especially within the Latinx community, where stigma and barriers to care remain deeply rooted.

 

We, the Latino Mental Health Association of New Jersey (LMHANJ), are proud to be at the forefront of this work, creating spaces that promote healing, culture, and connection.

​

We invite you to become a sponsor of our 2025 Celebrate & Elevate Gala—an unforgettable evening of purpose and celebration. Held during Hispanic Heritage Month and on the eve of World Mental Health Day, this year’s gala will shine a spotlight on the advocates, educators, and professionals creating meaningful change across New Jersey and beyond.

Your Sponsorship Makes an Impact

By becoming a sponsor, you directly support two core LMHANJ initiatives:

 

• Advancing Mental Health Awareness. Your support helps LMHANJ expand our advocacy, outreach, and education efforts, breaking stigma and improving access to culturally responsive mental health care for Latinx communities across New Jersey.

​

• Empowering Future Mental Health Professionals. Proceeds from the gala benefit the LMHANJ Futuro Fund, which provides scholarships to exceptional graduate students pursuing careers in mental health. Last year, we awarded two $4,000 scholarships to future leaders in the field. With your help, we aim to increase both the number and size of awards in 2025. 100% of proceeds from our silent auction will also go directly toward the Futuro Fund. These funds support students who will go on to serve the very communities that need them most.
