Reflecting on the Success of ‘Compassion in Every Step’: Highlights from Our Annual Spring Fundraiser for Mental Health

We are thrilled to share the highlights and successes of our annual spring fundraiser for mental health, 'Compassion in Every Step.' This year's event surpassed all expectations, thanks to our community's incredible support and participation.

Thank you to everyone who attended our annual fundraiser at Granite Links on May 1, 2024. Your presence, engagement, and enthusiasm made the event a tremendous success!

We’d like to express our heartfelt appreciation to our speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who contributed their time, expertise, and support. Your invaluable contributions were the backbone of this event, shaping the success of 'Compassion in Every Step.'

Our mission is “To provide professional mental health counseling and holistic therapies that are compassion-based and affordable to ALL in need.” By coming together to support our mental health mission, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need support most. Your support enables us to continue raising awareness, providing resources, and fostering a culture of empathy and support for mental well-being.

A special thank you to all of our youth participants for their dedication to stepping up for mental health. We are excited to share their final designs with you. As Colby, 13, expressed: “My thought process for designing my shoe was about a crucial time in my life. I used my personal favorite colors that represent my emotions about that rough time. They represent sad and dark emotions and lighter emotions. Art helps me escape.”

Maria Droste Counseling Services plays a vital role in mental health care, providing invaluable support to individuals and families in need. The funds raised during 'Compassion in Every Step' will go directly towards providing mental health care to anyone in need. We are deeply grateful for the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and volunteers who made this event possible.

Thank you once again for your incredible support. Together, we are significantly impacting mental health in our community. Stay tuned for more updates and future events as we continue our mission to promote mental health and well-being.
