BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (8/17/2026): SAVE, Suicide Awareness Voices of Education, announced today that WTW, a leading global advisory, broking, and solutions company, will serve as Presenting Sponsor of Bright Night 2027, SAVE’s signature annual celebration of hope and suicide prevention. Bright Night 2027 will take place on April 24th, 2027, at The Fillmore in Minneapolis.
In its first year, Bright Night drew more than 530 guests to a sold-out evening at The Fillmore in Minneapolis and introduced SAVE to a new community of supporters, with more than 80 percent of guests engaging with the organization for the very first time.
The Presenting Sponsorship builds on a partnership between WTW and SAVE that spans several years and reaches across the country. Together, the two organizations built IBEAM, SAVE’s suicide prevention program for the construction industry. In 2026, SAVE presented the Kayla’s HOPE Award to Jamie Kraker of WTW in recognition of WTW’s leadership in advancing suicide prevention.
“WTW’s partnership with SAVE reflects who we are as a company and what we believe about caring for people,” said Brian Carpenter, WTW Executive Vice President. “From building IBEAM to engaging our colleagues and clients in this mission, we have seen firsthand the impact SAVE has on individuals, families, and entire industries. Serving as Presenting Sponsor of Bright Night 2027 is an honor, and we are proud to put our name behind a night dedicated to hope.”
“WTW has been an extraordinary partner in every sense of the word,” said Erich Mische, Chief Executive Officer of SAVE. “They have invested their resources, their networks, and their people in the belief that suicide is preventable. Bright Night is not a boring, stuffy gala. It is a celebration of hope, and there is no organization we would rather have standing at the center of that celebration than WTW.”
Bright Night 2027 will feature the return of emcee Dez of the KS95 morning show, brand new musical entertainment, live and silent auctions, and the signature 988 ticket pricing for individual tickets, built around the number of the national Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
Sponsorship opportunities are available by contacting Margaret Fondell, Director of Development, at mfondell@save.org or 952-208-8485.
