The Mental Health Association of Westchester's MHA on the move Run, Walk, Dance! Raises $250,000

CNN's Gerri Willis, Stone Phillips, and CBS's Lou Young joined The Mental Health Association of Westchester County, Inc. (MHA) in fighting the stigma of mental health issues and to help the organization raise funds for its programs. More than 500 Westchester residents raised $250,000 through MHA on the move Run, Walk, Dance! a two-part event that included a Gala Dance Celebration held on Thursday, September 24, at The Atrium in White Plains, and MHA's fifth annual Run/Walk held Saturday, September 26 at Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park

At the Gala Dance Celebration, MHA honored actor and mental health advocate, Joe Pantoliano; Janet Z. Segal, Executive Vice President, Four Winds Hospital; Strategies for Wealth, a financial planning and wealth management firm with a strong commitment to helping children; and MHA volunteer Dino Venuto. Donna Clarfeld, chaired the event, and Stephen J. Jones and Susan C. Christenson served as Honorary Co-Chairs. CNN's Gerri Willis and MHA Board President, Norman J. Michaels, Jr. hosted the Gala Dance Celebration.

Proceeds from MHA on the move Run, Walk, Dance! will support MHA's advocacy, education and direct services. "These events help us to address the stigma that too often accompanies having a mental health problem and prevents people from getting the help they need," said Dr. Amy Kohn, MHA's CEO and Executive Director. She noted: "These amazing community events bring people together to raise awareness of what we do, and how we help."



This year's Gold Sponsors were MasterCard Worldwide and Strategies for Wealth. A complete listing of sponsors is attached.
