Join us for an event filled will connection, community, and saving young lives before it’s too late.
About the Event
Please join Generation S.O.S. for an evening of entertainment and inspiration as we shine a light on substance misuse and other mental health challenges facing America’s youth.
Our 2026 Annual Summer Celebration on Sunday, August 2 in Water Mill, New York will feature:
– 6-time Grammy winner & Red Hot Chili Pepper’s drummer, Chad Smith, coming to share his personal journey with substance misuse
– Award-winning actor Jason Biggs returning to interview Chad Smith
– America’s Next Top Model Winner, actress, TV Host, and mental health advocate Sophie Sumner, as our Emcee
– Special musical performance by Cold Spring Harbor Band, a Billy Joel tribute band featuring Beckett Smith, Chad’s son
Plus, hear how Generation S.O.S. and our new initiatives are providing coping skills and inspiration while saving young lives across the country — in middle schools, high schools, college campuses, under-resourced communities, prisons, and indigenous lands.
Guests can enjoy this special evening in person, at a magnificent private residence with refreshments and light bites or via livestream. We hope you will join us in whatever way is most convenient for you. This is certain to be an evening to remember.
