HALA-CCTH Gala: Advancing Trauma Care & Prevention

The Harrisburg Area Learning Academy – Central PA Center for Trauma and Healing (HALA-CCTH) is inviting the community to support trauma recovery and prevention efforts across Central Pennsylvania at its upcoming fundraising gala.

CCTH is proud to be Pennsylvania’s first and only Trauma Recovery Center (TRC) and the 34th in the nation, providing survivors of trauma and violent crime with comprehensive, wraparound services designed to help individuals and families move from crisis toward healing.

In the past year, 130 trauma survivors received treatment through HALA, and 43 families participated in mental health workshops, with nearly 89% reporting a significant reduction in trauma symptoms.

To continue expanding trauma-informed services, HALA will host its signature fundraising event, “Timeless Elegance: A Throwback Affair,” on May 15, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Best Western Premier – The Central Hotel in Harrisburg.

This elegant evening will celebrate trauma survivors, highlight the importance of trauma-informed care, and raise critical funds to support healing services and prevention initiatives throughout Central Pennsylvania. Proceeds from the evening will support trauma recovery services, volunteer training for those assisting human trafficking survivors, and the expansion of trauma education and prevention programs in local schools.

Community members, organizations, and businesses are invited to attend and support this important work! To purchase tickets, click here.
