THE INAUGURAL I SEE YOU GALA COMES TO CINNAMON LIFE THIS SEPTEMBER 13, 2026

• One extraordinary night of international entertainment, storytelling, fine dining and purpose, with 100% of proceeds supporting the work of the Infinite Grace Foundation.
• Stephanie Siriwardhana to premiere I SEE YOU, her first original song that became one of the catalysts for the national mental health movement

Colombo, Sri Lanka, September 2026 – Infinite Grace Foundation will host the inaugural I SEE YOU Gala 2026 on 13 September at The Forum, Cinnamon Life. The event is expected to bring together approximately 500 business leaders, philanthropists, diplomats, public figures, artists and changemakers for an evening created to entertain, connect and fundraise. 100% of proceeds will go towards supporting the Foundation’s islandwide work across mental health, education, prison rehabilitation & second chances, underserved communities and humanitarian responses. Tickets are priced at LKR 30,000 per person, and the Gala will combine a five-course gastronomic experience with international and local entertainment, immersive storytelling, art and a live charity auction.

For companies, families and groups wishing to experience the evening together, tables of eight [08] are available at a special rate of LKR 200,000, offering an opportunity to host leadership teams, valued clients, friends or loved ones while directly contributing to work that continues long after the Gala ends.

At the heart of the evening is one simple question: What becomes possible when we truly see another human being? The Gala forms part of the Foundation’s I SEE YOU Movement, which works to make mental health support more accessible through education, community programmes, public conversations and practical support.

The programme will feature Jeff Timmons, founding member of 98 Degrees, flying in from Las Vegas, USA, specifically for the Gala, performing live and joining an intimate conversation exploring identity, success, pressure and resilience. Guests will also experience Dushyanth Weeraman, a 70-piece Junior Philharmonic Orchestra and Yasas, the Mentalist from Dubai, with a special experience exploring perception and what we do not always see.

A deeply personal highlight of the evening will be the official premiere of Stephanie Siriwardhana’s original song I SEE YOU. Born from her own journey of healing, the song became one of the catalysts for the wider I SEE YOU national mental health movement.

Guests will experience a specially curated five course sit down gastronomic journey, international and local entertainment, immersive storytelling and art installations, a Red Carpet arrival, and a live charity auction. The evening is thoughtfully curated to bring guests closer to the heart of the cause, even extending to the dress code: “Black Tie Glamour, with your interpretation of ‘I See You.’” The evening is designed to move beyond entertainment and celebration, inspiring empathy, hope, and meaningful action.

The Gala is being supported by a network of Event Partners, including City of Dreams, home of I SEE YOU;  JMed Supplies USA, Upper Class Travel, Universal Sounds; Coconut Rock Events; Flower Park and Kingsman Suits. The Foundation’s Long-Term Partners include The Optimist and Cha Organics, whose continued support contributes to the wider work of Infinite Grace Foundation and the I SEE YOU Movement.

The Gala will help fund the Foundation’s ongoing work. In 2026, the I SEE YOU Movement reached more than 675 children through its mental health curriculum, while its free Mental Health & Wellbeing Carnival in Galle brought together more than 1,500 people across approximately 36 wellbeing experiences. The Foundation also draws on approximately 12 years of prison rehabilitation and reintegration work and humanitarian initiatives, including support for approximately 1,500 families affected by Cyclone Ditwah.

Founded by Stephanie Siriwardhana, the Infinite Grace Foundation is built around the belief that every human being deserves love, dignity, purpose, opportunity and hope. Its programmes are designed, wherever possible, to remain completely free and accessible to the communities they serve.

The inaugural I SEE YOU Gala takes place on 13 September 2026 at The Forum, Cinnamon Life, Colombo. For ticket purchases – call +94 77 502 8880, or purchase via gala.infinitegrace.foundation.
