Mental Health Group Hosting Casino-Themed Fundraiser

BRYN MAWR, PA – The DMAX Foundation, a local mental health advocacy group, is inviting the public to help fight mental health stigma at a special casino-themed event later this month.

The third annual DMAX Foundation DMIXER will be held at 6:30 p.m., Sept. 28 at Shipley School Commons building, 825 Montgomery Ave., Bryn Mawr.

This year's theme is "Conversations at the Casino."

Guests will be able to enjoy casino games, music, drinks, and a silent auction. Dinner will be provided by area restaurants such as Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar and Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza.

Attendees can win prizes including tickets to Disney World, a cruise trip, and even a 24-hour stint with your own Tesla electric car.

Most importantly, the night will be full of "Conversations that Matter" about mental health issues.

Tickets are $50 for general admission and $65 for VIP tickets. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, as well. Ticket and sponsor information is available here.

The event is a 21 and up event.

DMAX is celebrating the opening of its newest DMAX Club at Penn State University and Drexel University, and will share its plans for additional DMAX Clubs in the Philadelphia region.

The event will help the foundation raise funds to continue to build DMAX Clubs on college campuses to enable more students to have a place to share how they are really doing with other students so that they do not have to hide from each other.

The DMAX Foundation was founded to eliminate stigma and encourage safe and caring conversations about mental and emotional issues in our youth. It is named after late Radnor grad Dan Maxwell who was affectionately called DMAX by his teammates.
