Enjoy a brat fry, silent auction, raffles, LIVE music, craft/art activities & more! Proceeds benefit MHA's programs that work to promote good mental health & MHA's suicide prevention efforts.
Opening Ceremony Speaker: Mary VanHaute
A suicide prevention trainer and author, Mary combines her education and lived experience into her passion to reduce death by suicide in our communities. She welcomes the chance to meet other survivors of suicide loss in order to grow through our shared experiences and give a voice to the stories of those we lost. She and her husband live in Clearwater, FL, but have roots in Wisconsin and San Antonio, TX, where her daughters, sons-in-law, and five beautiful grand babies reside.
