Mental Health Association of Northwestern PA
A fund raising event
at the Mental Health Association of Northwestern PA
On behalf of the Board, Staff, and Members of the MHA, I want to thank you for your participation in the 2009 Walk for a Healthy Community on June 6th. Your participation, and that of the walkers supporting the other nonprofits benefiting from this event, was very gratifying to all the participating agencies. It was a beautiful day at Presque Isle and I hope you enjoyed the exercise and fresh air.
Your generosity, whether you walked yourself or sponsored someone else to walk, brought in over $3,500 to the MHA. These funds will help make sure that MHA will be able to offer Warming Nights this coming winter so that persons without shelter will have a safe haven on our most frigid nights in Erie. Not only do your donations support this fine program, but secondarily, they support the mental health consumers who are employed to staff and manage Warming Nights.
Planning will get underway soon for next year’s Walk for a Healthy Community and the MHA will be planning to participate again. I hope you will join with us in 2010 to keep supporting Warming Nights and mental health consumer driven/run programs.
Thanks again and best wishes for a mentally healthy summer.
Bill Grove, CEO
