You are sure to get your share of steps in during the in-person 2025 APA Annual Meeting as you go from session to session. But if you like music and dancing, make sure you save some energy. We have just the event for you.

The APA Foundation 2025 Benefit takes place during the conference on Monday, May 19. This annual event supports the foundation’s programs and its vision to create a mentally healthy nation for all. And each year, a unique venue hosts the event and helps people create a night to remember. This year in Los Angeles is no different. In fact, it’s legendary.

On behalf of APA and APAF, we invite you to join us at the GRAMMY Museum for an unforgettable evening of dancing, entertainment, Southern California-inspired cuisine, and exclusive access to the Museum's collections. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, this benefit is a must-attend experience.

• Support a Good Cause – Your ticket purchase supports the APAF’s noble work across the U.S. For example, it helps the APAF team expand programs that provide professional development to psychiatric trainees, educate school staff on how to best support student mental health, and address clinician burnout and wellbeing.
• Enjoy a One-of-A-Kind Museum – Get exclusive access to the exhibits at the GRAMMY Museum! A few exhibits on display in May 2025 include Luther Vandross: Artistry and Elegance and Michael Jackson: The Thriller Years, 1982-1984.
• Make Connections – Attendees at the benefit are a “who’s who” in psychiatry and mental health. And they’re passionate about making a difference where it matters. Add your support and build your network of like-minded colleagues in the process.
• Soak in the Perks – Give your taste buds a kick with catering by Michelin Star-winning chef Wolfgang Puck. Jump into the silent auction and bid on travel packages, signed memorabilia, fashion items, and more. Dance the night away on this event’s renowned dance floor. And sing your heart out during karaoke in the Clive Davis Theater!
• Become a VIP – Grab one of the VIP tickets to access the museum exhibits an hour before the benefit begins, bid on exclusive silent auction items, and enjoy networking with friends in a quiet, private lounge.
