Announcing Lincoln Families New Emerald Ball for Mental Health Awareness

Please Join Us for Our New Emerald Ball Event!

About The Emerald Ball

Our new green-theme --- the color of May Mental Health Awareness month --- puts the focus on our mental health and wellbeing work with youth and families front and center.

We are shaking things up this year! Although you won't see a traditional sit-down dinner or a live auction, you and your guests will enjoy a filling appetizer feast, super silent auction, and immersive experiences before the program begins. With event-favorite DawnMarie emceeing, our shortened program will feature a surprise musical performance, table bites, and live storytelling. And, of course, the After Party will include dessert surprises and dancing.

DATE Friday, May 10, 2024, 5:30 - 10:30pm

DETAILS BLOC15, 252 2nd Street, Oakland

GUESTS Sponsor areas will have seating for a minimum of 8 guests.

Here’s what else you can expect:

APPETIZER FEAST + EXPERIENCES | Kick off the fun with signature cocktails, food, & immersive experiences.

STORYTELLING | Enjoy surprise performances, special awards, and more!

AFTER PARTY | Once the sun goes down, get ready to dance!
