MHA's Annual Benefit Denim and Dreams

Join The Mental Health Association of Westchester for
our annual benefit celebration to create and cultivate essential mental health
services in Westchester. The event, called Denim and Dreams, will be held on Friday evening, October 24, 2014 at the CV Rich Mansion in White Plains, NY beginning at 7 pm.

The name of this year’s event, Denim and

Dreams, gives you a clue that change is in the air. It’s going to be
barbecue, not boullabaise; denim, not diamonds and music (by Grammy-nominated
musicians Gil Parris, Curtis Winchester and Friends) you’ll want to boogie to all
night long!

The event includes cocktails, dinner, silent auction, and award presentations to exceptional
individuals who have made a difference to MHA and the field of mental health.

This year, the honorees include the following:

• Anne Kauffman Nolon, MPH, President and CEO, HRHCare will be recognized with the MHA on the move Award for her advocacy for improved mental health services through her work and promoting an understanding of mental health issues.
