October 2, 2025
Gateway hosted its 13th annual Beautiful Music for Beautiful Minds fundraising celebration on Thursday, September 25, drawing more than 200 community members, supporters, and advocates for mental health to the Hyatt Regency Greenville.
The event, Gateway’s largest annual fundraiser, raised more than $120,000 to support adults living with mental illness in the Upstate. Guests enjoyed an evening of live entertainment from The Jamie Wright Band, hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and spirited participation in both a raffle and a silent auction.
One of the evening’s highlights was the popular Restaurant Row raffle, which sold out quickly and featured more than 85 gift cards to local restaurants. The competitive silent auction also generated impressive support, raising over $20,000 on its own.
“We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our community and the energy in the room this year,” said Randy Redlinger, Executive Director. “The funds raised will help us upgrade technology within our Clubhouse, ensuring members have greater access to the tools they need to thrive in their recovery and in life.”
The annual Beautiful Music for Beautiful Minds not only raises critical funds but also raises awareness about mental illness and Gateway’s life-changing Clubhouse model, which has been serving the Greenville community for over 40 years.
