The Good Grief Gala goes beyond a support group or fundraiser.
It's a joyous community for allies in grief to reclaim their joy together, judgment-free.

Brought to you by Capacity Creator Corp.

Join us at the Good Grief Gala on October 25, 2026, for a groundbreaking event dedicated to transforming how we perceive and manage grief.

With a focus on acceptance and integration, this Gala is more than just an event — it's a journey to understanding grief's complexities, whether from lost relationships, careers, health, or dreams.

Engage in uplifting activities and hear from wonderful speakers designed to infuse joy and creativity into the healing process. 

Let's come together to support and redefine the journey through grief.

Come and experience what this community feels like.

We’d love to host you.

Beyond raising awareness, the Gala is a crucial fundraiser aiming to offer vital therapy support.

We're committed to providing women and families with therapy sessions, ensuring those in need can access professional help.

WHO WE HELP

The Good Grief Gala focuses on supporting women and families from diverse backgrounds who are facing significant life challenges and lack the financial means to access therapy.

These women might be dealing with grief, trauma, or other mental health crises that threaten to derail their personal and professional aspirations.

By offering just-in-time therapy, we aim to provide these women with the tools they need to heal, regain their strength, and continue their journey toward success.

This event isn't just a gathering.

It's an immersive experience aimed at raising awareness about processing grief through engaging and uplifting activities.
