This past weekend, we were proud to kick off Mental Health Awareness Month with one of our most anticipated events of the year, Derby Day, and what a success it was.
From the moment guests arrived, the energy was undeniable. Community members, supporters, and partners came together for an afternoon filled with connection, celebration, and a shared commitment to advancing mental health. It was more than just a festive gathering, it was a reminder of the power of showing up for one another.
Of course, no Derby Day celebration would be complete without a little style. Our Best Derby Hat and Best Bow Tie contests brought creativity, personality, and flair to the event, adding to the excitement and spirit of the day. The looks did not disappoint, and the friendly competition made it all the more memorable.
