**Honoring the Mental Game in Athletes**
The Georgia Psychological Foundation is excited to announce a new date for The
Unmasqued Masque: Honoring the Mental Game in Athletes.
✨ 02/27/2027 ✨
After thoughtful consideration, we have made the decision to move our gala to
February. This additional time will allow us to expand our partnerships, welcome more
members of Georgia’s sports and psychology communities, and create an even more
meaningful evening in support of mental well-being across our state.
The mission remains the same - and our vision for the evening is stronger than ever.
Already purchased a ticket or committed your support?
We are deeply grateful, and wewill be reaching out with updated information.
And as we prepare for February, we invite you to help us spread the word. Introduce us
to athletes and members of the sports community, share sponsorship opportunities
with your network, consider donating sports memorabilia for our auction, and invite
friends and family to join us.
A new date.
The same important mission.
An even bigger opportunity to make an
impact.
Stay tuned for more details!
Guests are invited to dress in formal black-tie attire, formal suits, floor-length gowns, or other formal evening wear along with a masquerade-style mask (masks are optional!).
Feel free to express your personality with your mask: classic Venetian, modern chic, or subtly themed to your favorite sport or team.
Masks will not be available on-site so we encourage guests to bring their own for the full experience!

The Event
Join the Georgia Psychological Foundation (GPF) for an unforgettable evening of elegance, impact, and inspiration. Step behind the mask with leaders, athletes, and community members as we raise vital funds to expand mental health awareness, access, and support throughout Georgia.
The Unmasked Masque is GPF’s signature black-tie masquerade gala. It’s more than an elegant evening, it’s a powerful statement that mental health matters, on and off the field.
Throughout the night, we’ll highlight the mental game in athletes, the resilience, vulnerability, and support systems needed for true wellbeing. Your presence helps us “unmask” stigma and create a culture where seeking help is seen as a sign of strength, not vulnerability.
We will post more details as the agenda is finalized but currently the plan is to have a meet and greet with athletes, a few short presentations, and a mental health panel with athletes. The gala is scheduled from 5:00 to 9:00 and will include food and dancing!
