Real Needs. Immediate Impace. Eternal Value.
As part of the Lives Restoried Gala, we’re inviting you to meet tangible needs across Charis Eating Disorder Care. These Charis Projects represent opportunities to directly support the healing work happening every day—by funding physical spaces, patient experiences, and tools that make recovery possible.
Whether you’re near or far, you can join us.
How It Works:
Scroll through the list of available projects below
Choose one (or more!) to fully fund before the gala
Remaining items will be auctioned live at the Lives Restoried Gala on August 30
Our goal is simple: every project funded before the big night—so that our gala can be a time of celebration, not asking.
