Hello Family & Friends,
This year is more important than ever for Peace of Mind: 10,000 Steps in the Right Direction and the cause it serves in support of mental health awareness and research. Together with Alma Rosa Winery and all of this year's walk participants and donors, we aim to raise over $250,000 for our beneficiaries, One Mind and Mental Wellness Center–two key organizations at the forefront of this important movement. Alma Rosa proprietors Bob and Barb Zorich have even pledged to match all donations dollar-for-dollar up to the first $70,000.
I have decided to support Mental Wellness Center this year. Since 1947, the Mental Wellness Center has been building hope for individuals and families, providing support in recovery and raising awareness of mental health within the Santa Barbara community. This important organization provides mental health education to local students, a residential services program which safely provides a home to more than 100 community members across seven residential sites, and serves individuals & families impacted by mental illness through support groups, employment services and social connection programs like the Fellowship Club, an on-site social day club and safe space with resources for those living with mental health struggles.
Please consider donating any amount you can to my fundraiser page between now and July 22 to this worthy cause.
Thank you!
