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!

27th Annual Catoctin Affair
Saturday, April 12, 2025
We partied with a purpose this year, and raised more than $240,000, allowing MHA to continue providing critical mental health resources to those who need them most. Your kindness helps us save lives, support families, and make our community whole.
Whether it’s guiding a child through tough times, answering a call from someone in need, helping a family find stability, or ensuring no one faces a crisis alone – you make it possible for MHA to continue doing this important work.
We hope you enjoyed the evening and felt the incredible power of this community coming together. Thank you for putting your WHY into ACTION, for believing in this cause, and for being part of something so meaningful.
Thank you again to our Presenting Sponsor, ClearView Communities, for your unwavering support of mental health in our community!
