We are so grateful to all who joined us on Saturday, October 10, 2020, virtually, for the 10th annual In Concert with Caminar. What a night!

Our special emcee, Dave Clark, from KTVU-TV, brought his amazing warmth, charisma, energy, and incredible compassion. What an honor to have him back for the second year in a row!

Sheléa was - once again - fabulous! She shared her incredible talent, as well as her inner and outer beauty with us. She made us smile, she reminded us that we are enough, and she delighted with her incredible voice and range. We loved every minute!

As for our sponsors and donors, THANK YOU! You are made a difference by funding the Caminar Mental Health Regional Response Fund. Your generosity will help us meet the rising demand to provide crucial mental health services for Bay Area families and individuals who are in crisis right now. Thank you for ensuring we can continue to adapt in this crisis and continue to provide individuals with science-based, compassionate treatment and recovery services tailored to their needs, strengths, and goals.

You all made the 10th annual In Concert with Caminar a tremendous success and a fun and exciting night. Thank you!

Because of you, an inspiring night celebrating music, community, and wellness raised critical funds to deliver mental health care and support for Bay Area youth and adults. 

 As our Bay Area neighbors, clients and staff members in the Solano County area, and so many across our state are once again coping with wildfires and power outages, we draw hope from the countless acts of kindness that bring comfort, care, and safety to communities in need.
Those who are in, or near, harm’s way are in our thoughts and hearts. 

 And, we are filled with gratitude. With thanks to you, our donors and supporters, more than 20,000 people this year will receive the compassionate, science-driven care they need to alleviate suffering from mental health and substance abuse conditions and move forward in healing and wellness.

 Thank you.

 Please enjoy these highlights, photos, and video from the evening.

The 9th Annual In Concert with Caminar brought together friends, family, and community for a magical night.

Dave Clark, KTVU-TV anchor and the evening’s emcee, kicked off the program by welcoming all of our guests. He spoke to the importance of addressing mental health, substance use, and related challenges—all critical community needs he talks about each day on the news.

Caminar’s CEO, Mark Cloutier, described the tremendous opportunity we have to improve the mental health and wellness of our community. He introduced our video story. We were moved as a young woman bravely shared how childhood trauma caught up with her, her diagnosis of mental illness, and how she found a lifeguard in Caminar. Watch Shrtonay’s story now.

The therapeutic power of the expressive arts was apparent as we were enchanted by the sheer talent, authenticity, and soulfulness of our headliner Sheléa. What a performance!

Most importantly, with the expertise of Andrew Lick of Christie’s, we raised critical funds to improve the health and well-being of our most vulnerable neighbors. Proceeds from this signature event ensure that local people coping with complex mental health needs receive the care and support we all deserve to overcome challenges and move toward greater resilience, wellness, and independence. Thank you for funding the path to wellness. We are so grateful.
