On October 18, 2025, the 10th annual Healing TREE Gala convened at The Players in New York City. This flagship fundraising event brought together stakeholders, supporters, survivors, and world-class talent under one roof to advance the mission of healing from trauma.
The historic The Players mansion, an 1847 Gilded Age landmark, served as an elegant backdrop for the evening’s proceedings.
Guests entered via a red-carpet arrival, mingled during the VIP pre-reception at 6 PM, then proceeded into the main dinner and program at 7 PM. With creative-cocktail to black-tie attire, the vibe balanced glamour with purpose.
The gala’s entertainment lineup featured prominent performers and speakers:
Healing TREE’s mission is to move beyond symptomatic coping for abuse survivors, focusing on true transformation. (Healing TREE)
The Gala is a key annual lever for funding their initiatives: EMDR/Brainspotting trainings, community education, expressive arts, and so on.
By gathering talent, donors, survivors and advocates in one space, the event amplifies awareness and fosters community.
The gala included an online auction opening October 11, covering exotic travel, limited-edition memorabilia, and therapeutic/self-care packages.
In-person components raised funds via ticket sales (general and VIP), sponsorship tiers (Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver) and the live portion of the auction. (Healing TREE)
The 2025 Healing TREE Gala reaffirmed the power of combining artistic talent, philanthropic support and social purpose. Attendees left with more than a memorable evening—they contributed to meaningful healing work. The organization’s mission to transform society’s response to abuse and trauma gained momentum thanks to this successful event.
