An Evening to Benefit Mental Health
The beloved Dragonfly Fundraiser returns this Summer for its 9th year, bringing our community together to inspire change around mental health and raise vital funds for Fairwinds-Nantucket's Behavioral Health Center.
Founded by Kate Kling after the loss of her sister, Christine McGugan, a mother of three, to suicide, Dragonfly was created to transform grief into action.
Dragonfly 2026 will take place on Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 5:30–8:00 PM under the tent at Great Harbor Yacht Club. This meaningful evening, led by founder Kate Kling and co-chairs Kathy Arrix and Katie Keith.
This event would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors and supporters. Their commitment helps sustain essential mental health care for island residents of all ages.
Proceeds from Dragonfly 2026 will directly support Fairwinds’ programs and services. All donations are tax-deductible.
