A Chance to Shine, BHcare’s annual fundraiser, brings together our community to raise critical funds and awareness for all our programs. This inspiring event supports BHcare's life-saving services for over 15,000 children, adults, and families each year who are impacted by mental illness, substance use, domestic violence, and other health-risk behaviors throughout the Greater New Haven area—from the Shoreline to the Valley.
At the heart of the event is our Walk to Remember, held in memory of Lori Jackson and all those who have lost their lives to domestic violence, mental illness, or addiction. We also walk in honor of the survivors those who continue to persevere, heal, and thrive.
A Chance to Shine is more than just a fundraiser—it's a day to celebrate hope, healing, and community fun! Join us for a kids’ bike parade, inflatables, touch-a-truck, lawn games, raffles, live music by Fat Molasses, and more. Bring the whole family and your four-legged friends for a day that truly makes a difference.
Proceeds benefit all BHcare programs including: The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services, Hope Family Justice Center, Parent Child Resource Center, Alliance for Prevention and Wellness, and BHcare’s mental health and substance use services.
