RECLAIM's annual Celebrate the Love gala and brunch will take place on Saturday, February 15, 2025 at McNamara Alumni Center in Minneapolis, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.

The event will feature games and activities, a silent auction, delicious brunch, and an exciting program!

The silent auction is one of the centerpieces of Celebrate the Love. Last year's auction featured over 100 items and raised over $13,000 for financially accessible mental health services. With auction items at every price point and appealing to diverse interests, there's something for everyone.

You can make the auction shine by donating an item or service. The commitment deadline is January 29, and you can submit it using our silent auction commitment form or contacting Jess at jess@reclaim.care.
