Return to the coast for an unforgettable evening as Young Adults with Epilepsy presents its annual bioluminescent gala, Making Waves, back for its second year in Monterey.
Set in celebration of the ocean’s energy—and Monterey’s iconic sea otters—this elegant night invites guests into an immersive experience of beauty, connection, and purpose. Held at the stunning Wave Street Studios, the venue’s indoor-outdoor flow, gardens, water features, and ocean breezes create a breathtaking coastal atmosphere.
Guests will enjoy a memorable evening featuring a curated dinner and drinks, lively live and silent auctions led by Erika Fleck—returning auctioneer and comedy favorite—and music by the Money Band that brings the celebration to life.
More than a gala, Making Waves is a movement of hope, supporting young adults with epilepsy nationwide. Every ticket helps strengthen mental health resources, community connection, and resilience for a population too often navigating life without adequate support.
Join in for an ocean-inspired night where celebration meets impact, and every wave helps create a more connected future.
