Our hearts are with the Kirby and Perkins families at this difficult time. Our friends at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center would like the community to know that this event has been postponed.

In light of the devastating loss of Executive Producer Jerry Kirby’s sister and brother-in-law Aggie and Tom Perkins, we are postponing the screening of Water Brother until a later date. Our hearts are with Jerry, the Kirby and Perkins families, and the Kirby Perkins Construction family during this profoundly difficult time. We appreciate the understanding and support of our community as we come together with compassion and respect.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Rock the Beach Fundraising Gala at the Newport Beach House. Your presence, energy, and generosity made the evening truly unforgettable.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible sponsors and donors. Your support fuels the life-saving work that impacts thousands of our friends and neighbors in Newport County every year.

As Tyler Bernadyn, a board member for Newport Mental Health and gala sponsor Lobby Muddy Fest, reminded us so powerfully:
“Your presence in this room is not just about attending a gala. It’s about standing with your community, with your neighbors, and supporting those who need us most. In a world that feels so divided, where headlines focus on what separates us, mental health is something that connects us all.”

We couldn’t agree more. Thank you for standing with us.
