Every year, our community comes together to raise critical funds for youth mental health services across Northern California. From our annual Youth Empowerment Benefit Concert to holiday gift drives, every event is an opportunity to make a lasting difference.
On April 9, our community came together at the Fourth Bore Taproom & Grill in Orinda for an evening filled with live performances by Brothers Coane, great food and drinks, and a lively live auction. Longtime supporters, new community members, and everyone in between showed up with one shared purpose: investing in the future of youth mental health.

OTTP-NorCal surpassed our fundraising goal at this year's Youth Empowerment Benefit Concert. The unwavering support of our sponsors, donors, attendees, volunteers, and community members made this an extraordinary night. Your generosity directly enables us to extend our services to even more youth in need throughout Northern California.
During the 2025 winter season, we made sure no young person in our care went without something to open up during the holidays. Through three coordinated efforts, the Holiday Gift Drive, Gifts for Groups, and Steve Lee Grant-funded gift cards, youth in our programs received meaningful gifts and everyday essentials at a time when it mattered most.
On April 11, 2024, our community gathered for an evening of food, live performances, inspirational speakers, and a lively online and live auction. The energy in the room was a true reflection of our community's shared commitment to youth empowerment.
From November 1 through December 2, OTTP-NorCal hosted our annual Holiday Gift Drive, delivering over 150 gifts to clients. Many gifts were chosen to promote wellness and self-expression, while others were simply selected to bring a little extra joy during a meaningful time of year.
This initiative provided Bay Area youth with essential therapeutic tools, from sensory favorites like slime and play-dough to everyday self-care essentials like hygiene kits and chapstick. Every donation made a difference in the therapeutic journeys of the young people we serve.
On April 13, 2023, guests enjoyed an evening of food, live entertainment, heartfelt speeches, an opportunity drawing, and a lively auction. The energy in the room reflected the deep care our community has for Bay Area youth.
This year's Holiday Gift Drive was our most impactful yet. Donors and supporters from all over came together to make sure every young person we serve felt seen, celebrated, and cared for during the holiday season.
On May 12, 2022, our community rallied to continue providing mental health services to students at Ida B. Wells High School following a major school district funding cut. Guests enjoyed food, musical performances, heartfelt speeches, and a lively auction.
