GALA 2025
Honoring Veterans. Empowering Families. Advancing Psychedelic Care.
November 8, 2025
USS Hornet, San Francisco CA
OPERATION: FREEDOM TO HEAL GALA
Celebrating the Unification of Heroic Hearts Project & Healing Breakthrough
Join us for an unforgettable evening aboard the USS Hornet as we celebrate a powerful new chapter in the fight for veteran mental health.
This year’s gala marks more than a celebration—it marks the official unification of Heroic Hearts Project and Healing Breakthrough, two organizations leading the charge to transform trauma care for veterans and their families. This moment also honors the continued growth of The Hope Project, our dedicated initiative to support veteran spouses and families through psychedelic healing.
Together, we are expanding access to psychedelic-assisted therapy, advancing policy change, and building the next generation of trauma-informed providers.
Funds raised through this celebration will fuel the growing movement we’re so proud to spearhead—from groundbreaking retreat programs and cutting-edge research to national advocacy and veteran-focused training initiatives.
Last year’s event helped us launch the first-ever U.S.-based psychedelic retreat program for veterans. Now, united under a shared vision, we’re going even further—reaching more communities, training more providers, and opening doors through both federal and state systems.
Your sponsorship ensures veterans and their families can access the healing they deserve—and helps shape a future where safe, effective psychedelic care is available to all who need it.
