Impact Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center will host The Impact Gala on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the Wende Museum in Culver City, bringing together supporters, community members, and friends for an inspiring evening dedicated to celebrating recovery, honoring transformation, and supporting the life-changing work happening every day at Impact.

Guests are invited to enjoy a delicious dinner, unique auction items, inspiring stories of recovery, and a shared purpose: helping individuals who are struggling with addiction access treatment, rebuild their lives, and pursue their goals.

Impact will recognize two honorees at our event. The “Outside the Box” Award will go to the command staff of the Pasadena Police Department for their innovative initiatives and strong collaboration which have expanded pathways into treatment and recovery services, helping vulnerable residents rebuild their lives and strengthening the well-being of the broader Pasadena community.

The “Inside the Box” Award will go to The USC Prison Education Project co-directors Nik De Dominic and Kate Levin for their success in bringing college-level courses to Impact residents, offering powerful solutions within existing resources, and opening doors to higher education that many never imagined possible.

Funds raised through The Impact Gala will directly support individuals as they receive addiction treatment, stabilize in recovery, and work toward healthy, independent futures. Community support makes this work possible.

“The challenges of addiction are not overcome through good intentions or opinions alone, they are overcome when people have the courage to invest in real solutions,” said Christina Gonzales, Chief Executive Officer at Impact. “If you want to spend one evening with people who understand that meaningful change requires action, and who are committed to creating more second chances, then I hope you’ll join us at The Impact Gala this October.”
