Support MHAI’s vital initiatives through one of several annual fundraising events.  The unrestricted funds that are raised through our events enable MHAI to continue the mental health programs and services that benefit the mental health of the citizens of Illinois.

Gold Bell Gala
The Gold Bell Gala is MHAI’s largest fund-raising event, a black-tie affair that raises more than 25 percent of our annual operating budget. 

Please join us for our 21st annual Gold Bell Gala on April 12, 2008 at the Grand Piazza on Taylor Street in Chicago – home of the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame.  Come and join MHAI for an evening of dinner, dancing, and an amazing auction.

Tickets will be on sale beginning in January. For more information and to make your reservation, please contact Jennifer Okonma, Director of Development at ext. 27 or at jokonma@mhai.org. 

A Day at the Races
Each September, MHAI hosts a more intimate fundraising event at Arlington International Racecourse in Arlington Heights.  Come join MHAI for a lovely Sunday afternoon luncheon and to watch the beautiful horses.

Check the MHAI Calendar in the near future for the 2008 date. For more information and to make your reservation, please contact Jennifer Okonma, Director of Development at ext. 27 or at jokonma@mhai.org.

 
Networking and Educational Events
Throughout the year, MHAI brings together donors, professionals, consumers, family members and others in a variety of settings to network and promote mental health.  Be on the lookout for MHAI’s next breakfast, lunch or early evening event.
