Story

For seven decades, Ecker Center for Behavioral Health has been a trusted partner in our community—providing hope, healing, and compassionate care for individuals and families facing mental health and substance use challenges.

This year, we’re proud to celebrate our 70th Anniversary with a gala event unlike any other: 

Light Up the Night: 70 Years of Care, One Night of Flair. Inspired by the vibrant energy of the 70’s, this evening blends celebration with purpose as we reflect on our history, honor the generosity of our supporters, and build momentum for the future.

Your support through sponsorships, tickets, donations, or participation in our live and silent auctions will directly strengthen programs like:

• Crisis stabilization and response services
• School-based prevention and early intervention
• Integrated treatment for mental health and substance use
• Housing and recovery supports

Every gift ensures that behavioral health services remain accessible, equitable, and life-changing for all—no matter their circumstances.

✨ Together, let’s Light Up the Night and step into the next chapter of our story.
