Mighty Real 2026

On Friday, October 2, PRC invites you to celebrate Mighty Real in its exciting new home at San Francisco's iconic Bimbo's 365 Club for an unforgettable evening of exceptional dining, lively entertainment, meaningful connection, and extraordinary impact.

Named in honor of San Francisco legend Sylvester and their iconic anthem You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), the gala pays tribute to a legacy that continues to shape PRC today. Through their extraordinary generosity, a portion of Sylvester's music royalties continue to support PRC's mission, ensuring their spirit of authenticity, joy, and community live on in every life we help transform.

This year's theme, Legacy | Purpose | Future, Mighty Real will mark a defining moment in our story. As we celebrate the legacy that shaped us and the purpose that drives us, we’ll also offer a first glimpse at the future of PRC and an exciting new chapter we can’t wait to share with you.

Legacy is what we inherit. It is the foundation built by grassroots organizations, passionate staff, courageous clients, visionary advocates, and loyal supporters who believe our community deserves compassionate, person-centered care.

Purpose is how we serve. Every day, PRC walks alongside people facing mental health challenges, substance use disorder, HIV, housing instability, and barriers to employment by providing integrated services that restore stability, inspire hope, and empower lasting change.

Future is what we build together. As PRC continues to grow, so does our commitment to expanding a stronger network of care, innovative partnerships, and opportunities that help individuals and communities thrive.

This year marks another milestone as Mighty Real moves to Bimbo's 365 Club after outgrowing The Pearl. Our new home reflects the remarkable growth of our community and creates the perfect setting to celebrate everything we've accomplished together while investing in what comes next.

Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy an elevated culinary experience complemented by fine wines, handcrafted cocktails, inspiring stories of resilience, exclusive auction and raffle experiences, and an energetic celebration on the dance floor.

Every thoughtfully curated moment is designed to bring people together in support of a cause that changes lives every day.

What makes Mighty Real truly extraordinary, however, is not simply the experience. It is the people who fill the room. Philanthropic leaders, community advocates, corporate partners, volunteers, and friends come together with a shared belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, belong, and thrive.

Every conversation strengthens the connection. Every toast celebrates a life transformed. Every bid and every gift help ensure that thousands of Bay Area residents continue to find the support, dignity, and opportunity they deserve.

Our legacy has shaped us.
Our purpose moves us forward.
And this October, a new chapter begins.

Be there when the future takes shape.

Sponsorship opportunities are now available, with individual tickets coming soon. Join us in shaping an extraordinary evening and the impact it will inspire. To learn how you can play a meaningful part in Mighty Real 2026, contact PRC’s Senior Major Gifts Officer, Lucas Cooper.
