A Halloween party like no other is back, and it’s bigger, darker, funnier, and more meaningful than ever.
The Face Your Fears Ball 2026 is The Lovey Project’s signature fundraiser, bringing our community together for an immersive, cocktail-style night of haunted experiences, curiosities, costumes, and connection- all in support of mental wellness for children ages 3–13.
This is not a hotel ballroom.
This is not a typical gala.
This is Victorian Gothic mischief with purpose.
A night of beautiful darkness, built to fund brighter futures for kids.
Friday, October 30th
6:30pm – 10:30pm

Sponsor FYF2: Where Generosity Gets Ghoulish
FYF2 returns October 30, 2026, and we’re looking for great-hearted sponsors to help bring the Gorey-inspired gloom to life. Every sponsorship directly supports The Lovey Project’s mission — and puts you at the center of the night, with VIP access, your name on a Gashlycrumb Gravestone, and recognition across our website, programming, and social media. Choose the level of impact and visibility that fits you, from $500 to $10,000.
• Five tiers, $500–$10,000: Generous Ghouls VIP, Hospitable Haunters, Magnanimous Marauders, Philanthropic Phantoms, and Bewitching Benefactors
• Every sponsor receives: VIP tickets, Velvet Vampire VIP Lounge access, Gravestone naming rights, premium "Gorey Goodie Bag" swag, and a reserved Tarot or Palm reading
• Higher tiers unlock: prop and animatronic sponsorships, premium wine, reserved tables with custom goblets, private Evil Garden tours, and personal butler or limo service
• Top-tier visibility: top placement, dedicated posts, reels, and video spotlights
Thank You Current & Past Sponsors!
