| The first full week in
October is Mental Health Awareness Week. In celebration of
this, New Horizons hosted the first ever Mental Health Awareness
Walk on the Treasure Coast. The community came together
for a great activity and in support of a great cause.
The Walk was a huge success
despite the weather!
The rain
stopped and the weather turned out to be perfect. We heard many
positive comments about the event from people in the community.
The walking route around the lake, as well as, the Civic
Center’s event area was well received by everyone. There were
200+ attendees, 189 walkers and 20 teams that participated.
The
money raised will benefit the residents of the four county area
served by New Horizons.
We are
already planning for the 2nd Annual Mental Health Awareness Walk
in 2012. We will be hosting several other special events
in conjunction with the walk and will keep this site updated in
order to share this information. |
