Tilly’s Life Center (TLC) celebrated an inspiring evening at its 11th Annual “I Am Giving” Gala, raising over $457,000 to support teen mental health and emotional wellness programs. Held at the celestial A/V Irvine, the “Shoot for the Stars”–themed event featured live music, elevated food and beverage experiences, exclusive auction packages, and heartfelt moments of connection. The most powerful part of the night came from four courageous TLC teens who shared how the “I Am Me” program helped them overcome anxiety, depression, isolation, and life-changing challenges—moving the audience to stand with them in solidarity. Guests also honored community partners including Principal Mike Pooley and Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel, and witnessed remarkable generosity as donors and sponsors helped amplify the evening’s impact. The night concluded with hope, gratitude, and a shared commitment to guiding teens toward a brighter future.
