Join us for an unforgettable night at Silence the Shame’s 4th Annual A Brilliant Mind Gala! This year, we’re bringing you Atlanta’s premier all-black Silent Party—an immersive experience where music, mission, and movement come together for a cause that matters.
Step into the iconic Atlanta City Hall Atrium for an evening where classic gala meets cutting-edge fun. Don your favorite all-black attire and sneakers, grab your wireless headphones, and get ready to vibe to electrifying Hip-Hop and R&B sets from the city’s top DJs—from today’s chart-toppers to old school legends. With three channels to choose from, you control your groove!
Upon arrival, receive your own wireless headset—switch between three live DJs and dance to your beat. Want to chat? Just lower your volume or remove your headphones; it’s social, immersive, and there’s no ringing in your ears at the end of the night!
Unfortunately, discussing mental health challenges and conditions has often been met with fear and negative perceptions. Approximately 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness in a year, yet less than half receive the necessary assistance. To empower individuals to seek the support they need, it is imperative to destigmatize conversations around mental health and promote greater awareness of wellness. Last year, we successfully engaged over 78,000 individuals in community discussions, wellness seminars and events fostering a sense of normalcy around mental health and promoting early intervention through increased mental health literacy. STS is dedicated to forging significant partnerships and creating opportunities to expand our mental health literacy programs.
We engage youth and adults in programs that offer mental health education, suicide awareness and healthy self-care practices. Our communities have shared that:
And we’re just getting started. Mental health stigma keeps too many people silent. We’re here to change that—sparking honest dialogue, celebrating healing, and empowering every voice. With your support, Silence the Shame is helping communities dance through the darkness, together.
Contributing to the Gala will enable us to continue offering vital programming to youth and adults in underserved communities, including conversation series, wellness seminars, and youth development activities. We kindly request your consideration in sponsoring the Gala, as your contribution will make a tremendous difference in our ability to plan and execute this event.
