Thrive Gala 2026

The Thrive Gala brings our community together for an inspiring evening of connection and celebration in support of Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation. This year’s cosmic-inspired event will shine a light on a serious and often unseen condition affecting children and teens: chronic pain.

This year, we are proud to celebrate the Mary Free Bed Kids Pain Program, where a multidisciplinary team of specialists helps children understand and manage pain through an innovative blend of medical care, psychology, and physical and occupational therapy. Together with families, the team develops personalized, goal-oriented plans that help kids regain confidence, build healthy coping strategies, and return to school, play, and everyday life.

Your support is vital for more children to access this life-changing care. Because every child deserves the chance to heal, grow, and simply be a kid.
