Tickets for the June 20 event will be available soon.

LIGHTS ON is Turning Point’s new fundraising series of events for 2025, celebrating the solid support that is now offered 24/7. 

Morning, noon, and night. Now there’s always a light on at Turning Point.

This year, we invite you to join us in supporting urgently needed mental health services and celebrating 24/7 crisis support at three very special events….  

Wintertime Festival for Families

Saturday, February 22, 2025 at Emily Oaks Nature Center, 10:00 a.m. – Noon. Explore and enjoy winter crafts, activities, and treats for the whole family, with a special appearance by Turning Point’s new Living Room on wheels! Donations welcomed and optional. Free admission for kids to this family event.

Luncheon with Author Shelby Van Pelt

Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at the Woman’s Club of Evanston, 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Join us for a seated luncheon featuring a very special presentation by Shelby Van Pelt, celebrated author of the NYT Bestseller Remarkably Bright Creatures, speaking about her work and the connections between humans, animals, and mental wellness. This event takes place in Evanston, home to Turning Point’s new Living Room location providing free crisis support.

Finale dinner event

Friday, June 20, 2025. Our three-fold event concludes with a celebration in our hometown of Skokie. Join us for dinner, a silent auction, and an inspiring presentation! Single tickets will be on sale soon.

A few frequently asked questions…. If I have tickets for more than one event, may I bring different people to the different events? Yes, absolutely. We will check in with our ticket holders before each event to confirm the names of their guests. Are only women welcome at the Woman’s Club of Evanston? No, all genders are very welcome to attend!  Have other questions? Please don’t hesitate to ask us! You can email Jen Sultz at [email protected].

All proceeds from the event support Turning Point Behavioral Health, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Tax ID 36-2327294. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. The excess of your ticket purchase over the fair market value of $35 per person for the luncheon alone and $115 per person for both events combined is a charitable contribution. All sales are final.
