Local Photographer Donates to Genesis Behavioral Health

Once again, local photographer Jon Secord has committed to contribute 25 percent of his photography sales from now through Dec. 15, 2015, to Genesis Behavioral Health (Genesis) of Laconia and Plymouth. Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) has agreed to match his donation up to $5,000 to help support the efforts of Genesis Behavioral Health here in the Lakes Region, according to a press statement.

Secord and MVSB partnered last year and Genesis benefited with a $2,000 donation they used to provide winter clothing to children in need. This will be the third year Secord has rallied to support Genesis with the sales of his photography.

“I’ve learned that even a small amount of money goes so far to help those in our community in need. I am excited to have the opportunity to partner again with such a strong community advocate like MVSB to provide support and have a positive impact again this year,” said Secord.

Those interested in purchasing photography to help support Genesis can order directly from jsecordphoto.com through Dec. 15. Secord specializes in New England landscape photography, especially the mountain, lakes and seacoast regions of the New Hampshire, and Hermit Island in Bath, ME.

Genesis Behavioral Health is designated by the State of New Hampshire as the community mental health center serving Belknap and southern Grafton Counties. A private, non-profit corporation, Genesis serves over 3,600 children, adults, elders and their families living with – and recovering from – mental illness throughout the Lakes Region, working in collaboration with other health care providers, schools, law enforcement and court officials, public health, and businesses. The mission of Genesis Behavioral Health is to provide integrated mental and physical health care for people with mental illness while creating wellness and understanding, in our communities.
