High Stakes 2025
The Event of the Year is Back!
Join us for the Second-Annual High Stakes: Double Down for Mental Health
Following last year’s sold-out success, High Stakes returns in 2025—bigger and bolder.
New this year, VIP guests will enjoy reserved seating and exclusive access to a private VIP area.
Guests will enjoy an evening of live entertainment by JUNO-nominated artist Warren Dean Flandez, casino games, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres. The night will also feature a live auction hosted by Fred Lee, alongside a carefully curated silent auction.
All proceeds support our Kind Mind Program, bringing free, impactful mental health tools directly into the hands of children, youth, and families across BC.
This is more than an event—it’s a movement. We’d love for you to be part of it.

Hollywood Theatre, Vancouver
Musical Performances by 2 time JUNO Nominee Warren Dean Flandez!

Support Our Mission: Sponsorship & Silent Auction Opportunities
Thanks to the generous support of our donors and sponsors, the Kind Mind program has reached over 5,000 families within its first six months. Additionally, more than 60 schools have expressed strong interest in participating in the upcoming school year. With continued support, we aim to expand our reach to 23,000 families by the conclusion of the 2025/26 school year.
Sponsorship offers great visibility and aligns your organization with a meaningful cause. Silent auction donations raise essential funds to grow this important work.

About The Kelty Foundation
At the Kelty Foundation, our mission is to create a meaningful impact by reaching and supporting children and youth precisely when and how they need it most. Over the past 15 years, we raised close to 8 million and achieved significant milestones, including:
The Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre at BC Children's Hospital
The Kelty Dennehy Mental Health Resource Centre at Lions Gate Hospital
VGH/UBC Hospital Foundation - Centre for Excellence - Depression Research
BC Crisis Centre -Suicide Prevention Workshops and 1-on-1 Chat Lines
Key partnerships with BC Crisis Centre, UBC,, Vancouver General Hospital, Jack.org, Whistler Community Services and more.
The Kelty Patrick Dennehy Foundation came to be when Kerry and Ginny Dennehy lost their 17-year-old son, Kelty, to depression and their work was further fueled by the loss of their daughter Riley 7 years later. Their grief ignited a determination to help other children and youth access mental health support. Our aim is to increase prevention, addressing the determinants of mental health problems to more effectively curb and manage them; and improve access to care, making it easier and more available to those in need.
