You’ll find opportunities to volunteer, fundraise, share your story, or simply stand with others in compassion. Together, we transform grief into purpose and awareness into action.

High School Prevention Talks

This is one of the most ambitious projects of the Spirit of Sebastian Foundation, due to its scope, impact, logistics, and financial investment required. Our goal is to bring prevention talks directly into the classrooms of seven high schools across the county (Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Hardeeville, Ridgeland, Beaufort, and May River), reaching an estimated 6,500 to 7,000 students.

Past Events

Every event hosted by the Spirit of Sebastian Foundation is a testament to the power of community, compassion, and hope. Through galas, fundraisers, and awareness campaigns, we come together to celebrate life, share stories, and support those affected by addiction.

Each past event represents a meaningful step toward our mission — raising funds for prevention, education, and recovery, while honoring the spirit that continues to inspire our work.

Gala Dinner & Dance Night

The Spirit of Sebastian Foundation hosted its Memorial Birthday Gala at the beautiful Hilton Head Plantation Country Club, bringing together supporters, friends, and community partners for an unforgettable evening of compassion and celebration.


Guests enjoyed a spectacular dance performance by the Hilton Head Ballroom Dance Studio, followed by a lively interactive dance class that filled the room with joy and laughter. The evening also featured a silent and live auction, offering exclusive items generously donated by local businesses and sponsors.


The event was not only a celebration of Sebastian’s life and legacy but also a powerful demonstration of community coming together to support our mission of addiction prevention, education, and recovery. Thanks to the generosity of attendees and donors, the gala raised vital funds that will directly impact our grant and outreach programs.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, and helped make this night one to remember.
