It is a great pleasure for me to announce the 2007 Gala Fundraiser for Mental Health America of Indiana (MHAI). This year’s theme will again be “Removing the Mask.” MHAI (formerly Mental Health Association in Indiana) has held its annual fundraising event for more than 20 years. The funds are used to advocate for the rights of those with mental and addictive disorders, and to educate the general public about these issues. MHAI is helping to remove the mask of stigma from those impacted by mental disorders. The event will be held on Thursday, October 25, 2006, at the Indiana Roof Ballroom, beginning with a reception at 6 p.m. The evening will feature a return performance by the exciting and nationally acclaimed entertainment troupe DanceTrance, who will be presenting a stage performance as well as an energized dance party.
MHAI provides funding to educate the public about mental illnesses and addiction issues. MHAI also advocates on behalf of people with mental and addictive disorders, provides volunteers to work with residents of state mental health facilities, and establishes prevention programs throughout the state. MHAI includes a network of 40 chapters across Indiana with more than 20,000 members.
