A Night for NAN 2025: An Evening of Hope, Connection, and Impact

The 2025 Night for NAN was once again an incredible success! Nearly 300 guests came together to celebrate and support The NAN Project’s mental health programming, hear powerful stories of resilience and strength from our amazing Peer Mentors, and help us continue our vital work — raising over $200,000 in the process! 

It was a truly inspiring evening honoring Nan’s legacy and the ongoing impact of The NAN Project and our dedicated team. We were proud to recognize Susan Wing, Northeast Area Director for the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH), as this year’s Friend for Life for her tireless devotion to building hope and advancing our mental health programming.

A heartfelt thank-you to our incredible Peer Mentors, Tyrese and Eri, who took the stage to share their mental health journeys with honesty, courage, and compassion. Their stories touched everyone in the room and perfectly captured what The NAN Project is all about. This is the same powerful work they do every day in classrooms — opening up conversations about mental health and reminding young people that they are not alone.

We’re also deeply grateful to Danversport for hosting us once again with delicious food, great company, and a beautiful setting. And, of course, thank you to everyone who joined us, supported our mission, and helped make this year’s gala one to remember!
