Staglin Music Festival for Mental Health 2009 was an incredible day, both for guests and for the cause.

Guests heard five amazing scientist speakers, savored Douglas Keane's hors d'oeuvres and over 70 stellar wines, danced with wild abandon to Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo's rock extravaganza, and warmed their spirits at Staffan Terje's sumptuous dinner. And, as of the Festival, donors had given over $2.1 million in 2009. Added to the $4.91 million in follow-on grants given to IMHRO-sponsored scientists by NIMH and private foundations in 2009, the grand total of funds IMHRO's donors have helped raise for mental health science has now passed $94 million.

Bob and Lee Peterson's events in Sarasota, Florida to raise awareness and funds for mental health, were a smash! Even in a tough economy the event raised $200,000 for research and slashed stigma for the over 1700 people who attended. The Petersons, and Patty Duke, both received tribute awards--and they deserved them, for their work in spreading the word that brain disease needs no shame, and for supporting cutting-edge mental health research. Not to mention hosting a memorable event!
