Join us for True Grit 2026!

True Grit is the annual fundraising gala benefiting Third Way Center. Third Way Center is a nonprofit residential mental
health treatment facility serving the most vulnerable adolescents aged 14 – 21. We help these teens and their families
work toward trauma resolution and, in turn, enable them to become productive members of society.

This year’s True Grit theme is “Ripples on the Range.” Just as a single stone creates a ripple across a mountain lake, your presence here helps provide the continuum of care and trauma-informed therapy these young adults need to navigate their own long, hard roads toward healing and independence. Dust off your boots and join us on the range to prove that with the right guidance, every trail can lead to a brighter future.

True Grit guests will gather at Infinity Park Event Center. Guests will be invited to dress in their “red-carpet western” best to enjoy a pre-dinner reception and silent auction. This will be followed by a seated dinner and program to hear more about the impact of Third Way Center’s work in the community.
