The 11th annual Seeds of Hope dinner for the Behavioral Medicine Center at Loma Linda University Health aims to break down stigma about mental illness and provide hope for individuals struggling with mental health and addiction.
The event will take place on Thursday, Oct. 11, providing an inspirational evening where attendees will hear from past patients at the Behavioral Medicine Center as well as award-winning writer, speaker and consultant Natasha Tracy.
After arriving, guests will be invited to walk through a youth patient art exhibit that provides a glimmer into what young patients experience as they go through treatment and as they resume a healthy life afterward.
The program and dinner will begin at 6 p.m. with opportunity drawings and a chance to win the grand prize trip to the Caribbean.
Proceeds from ticket sales and on-site donations will go toward providing scholarships to patients in need as well as the development of the new youth playground for children receiving care at the Behavioral Medicine Center. Those interested in attending can purchase individual tickets or entire tables.
“This mission-driven event will focus on educating the community on mental illness and addiction, as well as raising support for programs and services available at the Behavioral Medicine Center,” says Edward Field, MBA, vice president and administrator for the Behavioral Medicine Center.
The Oct. 11 event will be held in the fourth-floor conference room at Centennial Complex, located at 24760 Stewart Street in Loma Linda, California 92354.
