Rock the Beach
Thursday, September 25, 2025 - Newport Beach House
Offering the perfect balance of formal and fun, our 11th annual gala returns to the Newport Beach House, a stunning venue on Newport’s iconic First Beach. This sell-out event of 300 guests features live music, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing, plus live and silent auctions. The event honors the power of compassion and recovery and supports vital mental health and substance use services. Join us for a truly remarkable celebration of hope, generosity, and community.
How Your Evening Unfolds in the City by the Sea
Arriving at the beachside terrace is an escape from the ordinary. From 5:30 to 6:30pm, you reconnect with friends and bid on the silent auction while enjoying the sounds and views of the ocean. From there, you’ll move upstairs to the beautiful Eventide Room, where a delicious, chef-prepared dinner is served your elegant table that offers stunning views of the Cliff Walk and the ocean beyond.
The heart of the evening celebrates the life-saving work of Newport Mental Health with powerful speakers and vibrant messages of support. The energy rises with an exciting live auction, followed by dessert and dancing until 9:30pm, ending the night on a high note.
