We are thrilled to invite you to the 29th Annual Catoctin Affair! Together, let’s celebrate the vital impact of the Mental Health Association of Frederick County. This evening is more than just an event—it’s a powerful reminder that MHA is here at every step of the way, helping our community navigate pathways toward hope, healing, and resilience.

Join us for a night of elegance and impact, where you’ll enjoy culinary excellence, a complimentary bar, and an inspiring program that highlights the work of our 15 vital programs. Each program serves as a stepping stone—guiding children, families, and individuals through challenges both big and small, and ensuring no one walks their journey alone. The evening will also feature a live auction with a heartfelt appeal, followed by music and dancing.
