Under the Toque
MHALA’s 2026 Under the Toque gala will be held on Monday, October 5, 2026 at 5:00pm, at the Courtyard by Marriott Long Beach Downtown, 500 E 1st St, Long Beach, CA 90802.
Our 8th annual Under the Toque gala – Building Healthier Futures – promises to be an unforgettable night of purpose and passion, where extraordinary flavors meet extraordinary impact.
At this highly coveted event, guests will enjoy the rare opportunity of having a dedicated master chef who will personally craft and dramatically unveil a spectacular five-course meal with perfectly paired wines, exclusive to their table — all in support of MHALA’s mission to ensure people with mental health needs achieve meaningful, healthy lives in their communities.
This year, your presence and support will help expand life-changing programs for transition-age youth between 18 and 25, many of whom are former foster youth navigating adulthood without the safety net of family support. Through access to mental and physical healthcare, housing stability, and education and employment pathways, MHALA is helping young people build a foundation for lifelong well-being and opportunity.
