Last year, the Unmask the Myth Gala brought together advocates, partners, healthcare professionals, and community leaders for an unforgettable evening rooted in purpose. It was a night that sparked meaningful conversations around mental health, substance use, housing, and healing—and most importantly, it reinforced a shared belief: recovery is possible when communities come together with compassion.

Because of the overwhelming support and impact of last year’s event, Integrated Healthcare System (IHCS) is proud to bring Unmask the Myth Gala back in 2026.

This year’s gala is more than a celebration. It is a renewed commitment to hope, healing, and the continued work of serving our most vulnerable neighbors.

More Than an Event—A Shared Vision

At its core, Unmask the Myth is about challenging stigma and opening dialogue around mental health and substance use disorders. Too often, these experiences are misunderstood or hidden behind silence and shame. This gala creates space for honesty, empathy, and education—reminding us that behind every story is a person deserving of dignity and care.

Unmask the Myth Gala 2026 will once again unite individuals who share a common goal: building a healthier, more inclusive community where access to care, housing, and support is not a privilege, but a right.

The evening will feature powerful storytelling, community connection, and a collective vision for a future where recovery and stability are within reach for all.

Why This Unmask The Myth Gala Matters to IHCS’s Mission

Since 2004, IHCS has served thousands of individuals facing mental health challenges, substance use disorders, and housing instability. Our integrated model—bringing together primary care, behavioral health, supportive housing, and outreach—exists because we understand that healing is not one-dimensional.

Events like Unmask the Myth allow IHCS to continue this work. The gala directly supports programs that provide:

• Integrated behavioral and primary healthcare 
• Permanent supportive housing 
• Case management and peer support 
• Homeless outreach and prevention services 

By attending or supporting the gala, guests become part of the mission—helping IHCS meet people where they are and walk alongside them toward stability and wellness.

A Night That Aligns Purpose and Partnership

Unmask the Myth Gala 2026 is also a meaningful opportunity for businesses and organizations to align their values with impact.

Corporate sponsors and partners play a vital role in making this event—and IHCS’s work—possible. Supporting the gala demonstrates a commitment to community wellness, social responsibility, and long-term change.

For businesses, the gala offers:

• Visibility among community leaders and changemakers 
• Alignment with a trusted healthcare and housing organization 
• Opportunities to support impactful, local programs 
• A chance to be part of a movement that prioritizes people over stigma 

This is not simply sponsorship—it is partnership with purpose.

Building Hope Together

What made last year’s Unmask the Myth Gala truly special was not just the program or the setting—it was the shared energy in the room. The understanding that when people come together with intention, real change happens.

That same spirit will guide Unmask the Myth Gala 2026.

This event is a reminder that hope grows stronger when it is shared. That healing happens when communities show up. And that progress is possible when we choose compassion over judgment.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As IHCS prepares for Unmask the Myth Gala 2026, we invite our community to be part of the journey. Whether as an attendee, sponsor, donor, or advocate, your involvement helps extend care beyond clinic walls and into the lives of those who need it most.

Together, we can continue to unmask misconceptions, amplify understanding, and build pathways to healing.

Because at IHCS, our purpose remains clear: to provide comprehensive, compassionate care and create a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
