About dragonfly Nantucket
Dragonfly is a fundraising event on Nantucket created to inspire change with mental illness. The 9th annual Dragonfly will be held on Saturday, Aug 1st, 2026 at the Great Harbor Yacht Club.
The fundraiser was started after founder, Kate Kling, lost her sister, Christine McGugan, a mother of three girls, to suicide. Kate channeled her grief into Dragonfly, and to date, Dragonfly has donated more than $1.8 Million to mental health organizations on Nantucket.
Proceeds from Dragonfly 2026 will be donated to Fairwinds – Nantucket’s Behavioral Health Center, an agency that provides confidential, quality professional care to adults and youth on Nantucket who seek mental health and addiction services.
