celebrating over $370,000 raised for youth mental health!
Dear CHADS Supporters,
Thank you to everyone who attended our One Night for Brighter Days Gala on October 10. Because of your support, we’ve raised over $370,000, which is still growing! I’m genuinely grateful for each of you, especially since this year’s event fell on World Mental Health Day, a perfect reminder of how important it is to stand together for mental health and end the the stigma.
It was amazing to see so many passionate people in one room, sharing stories and standing in solidarity to support our youth. Thanks to your generous donations, we can continue reaching kids in more than 290 area schools, helping them feel supported, valued, and empowered. Your contribution has made a significant impact on our mission.
If you haven’t seen it yet, please take a moment to watch the powerful video we shared during the gala. It captures why this work matters so much.
From all of us here, thank you for making such a difference. Together, we’re creating brighter tomorrows.
With gratitude,
Tom Duff, MSW, LCSW
