High Stakes: Double Down for Mental Health

An Incredible Night, an Incredible Impact: $400,000 Raised

Thank you for joining us for the Second-Annual High Stakes: Double Down for Mental Health 

Thanks to our generous sponsors, donors, and attendees, together we raised $400,000 in support of children, youth, and families across BC. We are so grateful for the community that came together to make this evening such a success.

This year’s Old Hollywood Glam theme came to life beautifully, with guests dressing to impress and embracing the timeless elegance of Hollywood’s golden age. Our VIP guests enjoyed reserved seating and exclusive access to a private VIP area, adding an extra touch of celebration to the night.

Guests were treated to an unforgettable evening of live entertainment by Amanda Wood and JUNO-nominated artist Warren Dean Flandez, along with casino games, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres. The night was expertly hosted by Rachel Beau of Rock’N’Beau and featured a lively live auction led by Fred Lee, alongside a thoughtfully curated silent auction.

All proceeds from the evening directly support our Kind Mind Program, helping bring free, impactful mental health tools into the hands of children, youth, and families across BC.

This event was more than a fundraiser — it was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together. Thank you for being part of this incredible movement.

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.
