Brighter Days Family Grief Center’s annual “Brighter Nights” Cocktail Gala will be an incredible night of hope, celebration, and inspiration on Saturday, December 13th, 2025, at the beautiful InterContinental Riverfront Hotel in St. Paul Minnesota.
This highly anticipated evening will host approximately 350 guests and will feature a social hour featuring "Brighter Nights" signature cocktail and mocktail, three-course dinner, live and silent auctions, and many special opportunities for guests to honor their loved one. Our meaningful program will include highlights from our year of impact as well as testimonials from individuals whose lives have been touched by Brighter Days.
This year we are also offering an opportunity to sponsor one of our "Tribute Trees" featured throughout the venue. This is a beautiful way to honor your loved one with a tree lit up in their honor. A special tribute sign with their picture and story will be displayed near the tree, and you can decorate as much or as little as you wish.
Event proceeds will directly benefit Minnesota children, adults, and families grieving the death or terminal diagnosis of a family member.
*For dinner selections, we have Gluten Free and Vegetarian options. Should you have other dietary restrictions/needs, please email amber@brighterdaysgriefcenter.org
