$44,901 raised… and countless lives touched. 🤍

What an incredible night at the 5th Annual Behind the Mask. Because of your generosity, compassion, and belief in our mission, we were able to raise $44,901 in support of The Lotus Affect.

Every ticket purchased, every bid placed, every donation given carries real impact. It helps provide mental health resources, creates safe spaces for healing, and reminds people that they are not alone in their darkest moments.

To our sponsors, partners, volunteers, and every single attendee, thank you for showing up with purpose. Your support goes far beyond one night. It becomes hope, healing, and a chance for someone to rise again.

This is what community looks like. This is what happens when we come together.

We are deeply grateful!

This award says it all because it came straight from the crowd. Every vote, every bite, and every reaction made this moment even more special. The energy in the room was unreal and the support from the community made a huge impact.

To all the teams who participated, you brought creativity, flavor, and heart to the table. And to everyone who showed up and cast their votes, you helped make Behind the Mask an unforgettable experience.

This is what happens when the community comes together to celebrate great food and an even greater cause. We are so grateful for all of you.
