28th Annual Catoctin Affair
Saturday, April 11, 2026
Frederick Fairgrounds, Building 9
6:00 pm

We are thrilled to invite you to the 28th 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 14 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.

Your participation and generosity directly sustain the Mental Health Association’s essential programs—supporting our day-to-day operations and fueling the lifesaving work that keeps our community moving forward, step by step.

We are also delighted to welcome back ClearView Communities as our PRESENTING SPONSOR for this year’s event. Thank you, ClearView Communities, for your unwavering support of mental health in Frederick County!
