Just a few short weeks ago, SOUND Behavioral Health welcomed more than 400 community members, partners, and supporters to Fremont Studios for the annual SOUND of Hope Gala — an evening dedicated to expanding access to mental health and substance use services across King County.

The night reflected the heart of SOUND’s mission: connection, compassion, and opening doors to care. Guests experienced firsthand the impact of SOUND’s work through immersive program stations, storytelling, and opportunities to engage with community-based crisis services. Together, attendees helped surpass this year’s fundraising goal, ensuring more individuals and families can access the support they need.

We’re deeply grateful to everyone who helped make the evening meaningful — from our sponsors and volunteers to the staff and community members who continue to believe in a more hopeful, accessible future for behavioral health care.
