Isolation. The need for connection. The reminder that no one is truly alone. These themes at the heart of Dear Evan Hansen resonated deeply with our work in youth mental health through the Musim Mas BlueStar Fund.* We hosted donors and partners at the Gala Night of Dear Evan Hansen, a production by Pangdemonium’s.

The evening featured post-show conversations with our grantee partners, and a message board we co-created with The Tapestry Project — inviting audiences to pause, reflect and leave words of encouragement for themselves and others. A powerful reminder that sometimes, connection begins with a small step.
