Join Friends of Johnson County Mental Health Center for our fourth Annual Shine a Light—an evening of inspiration, recognition, and community connection. This signature event brings together individuals, businesses, and organizations to support mental health services in Johnson County. Whether you’re attending, reserving a table, or sponsoring the event, your involvement helps strengthen the network of support for individuals navigating mental health challenges.

This year’s event will feature the Beacon of Hope and North Star Awards, honoring the dedicated advocates and staff who make this work possible. We’re also thrilled to welcome keynote speaker Benjamin Sledge—a decorated combat veteran, award-winning author, and mental health advocate—whose powerful message of healing and resilience will inspire all who attend.

Learn about our sponsorship opportunities in our sponsorship guide. Sponsorships, tables, and individual tickets can be purchased below.
