Silk Threads proudly presents its 13th annual Charity Gala, The Regal Radiance, a dazzling evening celebrating the exquisite artistry of high-end Indian fashion.
This year’s event promises an unforgettable experience, showcasing the latest collections from renowned designers while supporting two vital causes: mental health awareness in the U.S. and education in India.
Prepare to be mesmerized by a breathtaking runway show featuring stunning dresses & menswear, intricate embellishments, and the vibrant spirit of Indian culture.
Enjoy a luxurious cocktail reception, delectable cuisine, and an exclusive silent auction featuring unique items and experiences. All proceeds will directly benefit our charity partners Aadhar and Akanksha, helping to make a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
Join us for an evening of elegance, compassion, and cultural celebration. Your presence will not only support these important causes but also contribute to the ongoing success of Silk Threads in promoting Indian fashion and fostering global understanding.
This year, we are honored to support two charities:
Aadhar (means Support) is dedicated to promoting mental wellness, emotional wellbeing, reducing stigma, and providing accessible resources for individuals and families facing mental health challenges. Their mission is to foster a supportive community where everyone has the access to the available tools and opportunities to achieve optimal mental well-being.
Established in 2024 by Dr. Sejal Mehta, a practicing psychiatrist, Aadhar is a community-based non-profit organization that specializes in mental health wellness awareness and support. They cater to diverse populations, including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, recognizing that mental health is a universal concern that transcends age, gender, culture, and socioeconomic status.
Akanksha Education Fund is dedicated to transforming the lives of students from underserved communities in India through a transformative education and access to life changing opportunities. We believe that every child—no matter their background—deserves the chance to learn, grow, and rise beyond the limits of generational poverty. Our vision is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to achieve economic mobility and lead purposeful, empowered lives.
For over three decades, Akanksha has stood beside students and their families, beginning with 60 after-school centers and evolving into 26 innovative public-private partnership schools across Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur – and our work has changed the lives of over 20,000 students.
While we will gather in the spirit of philanthropy, we will highlight how fashion can be a powerful vehicle for change, weaving together the efforts of Aadhar and Akansha with the giving nature of our community.
