Diamonds are formed under pressure—and so are we.
Life has a way of testing the human spirit. At times, it can cloud our ability to see our own worth, our strength, and our potential. Yet beneath every hardship, our hearts continue to sparkle. That belief is at the core of Diamond Heart Therapy—where healing begins from within, and hope is rediscovered one conversation at a time.
Diamond Heart Therapy is proud to present the 2nd Annual Diamonds & Donations Gala, taking place on Saturday, April 18, 2026, in West Des Moines, Iowa. Hosted in partnership with Foster’s Voice, this annual fundraiser supports the Foster Cares Fund, which provides FREE mental health therapy sessions to individuals and families in the Central Iowa area.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, last year’s inaugural gala raised $26,000, directly funding critical mental health services. This year, we are setting our sights even higher. Our goal is to raise $60,000, allowing us to provide approximately 500 free therapy sessions while continuing to raise awareness for our shared mission: one day, to help others live a full and meaningful life and to help stop suicide.
Life is meant to be lived—and felt—with the heart. Therapy is not a sign of weakness; it is a powerful tool that helps mine the hidden treasure of resilience, purpose, and healing waiting within each person. Every dollar raised through this gala goes 100% directly into the Foster Cares Fund, ensuring that financial barriers never stand in the way of mental health support.
The Diamonds & Donations Gala promises to be a first-class evening featuring a sit-down dinner, inspiring speakers from our community and partner organizations, and special entertainment to be announced. We anticipate welcoming up to 500 guests for a meaningful night of connection, compassion, and impact.
