The Project Blackbird Gala is an unforgettable evening dedicated to youth mental health. It brings together philanthropic leaders, athletes, advocates, and community members to celebrate Joy — and to ensure that young people can find joy again when it may feel out of reach. Together, we are funding free therapy, mental-health education, and direct support for youth who need it most.
Special guests for the evening include Leigh Steinberg, a legendary sports agent, philanthropist, and author, widely known as the real-life inspiration behind the film "Jerry Maguire." He will receive the Golden Wings Award for his work raising awareness around brain health, addiction recovery, and the long-term impact of concussions — using his platform to reduce stigma and expand access to care.
