Our work here at IMHRO is a tribute to the people we love who live with brain disease. Brain disease is no picnic; and the lives of our loved ones who have a mental illness are a constant source of inspiration. As they learn to accept and deal with the challenges they face, we couldn’t be more proud of them.

And, the support of our donors and volunteers over the years has been phenomenal, and we are forever grateful. They’ve joined us to raise over $94 million for the research that can one day soon cure mental illness, and we feel every ounce of their generosity personally.

If you’d like to help us find a cure too, we would sincerely appreciate your contribution. Here are some ways you can get involved:

1. The simplest (and most directly helpful) thing you can do is to donate. If you’d like to, please complete our online donation form. You can even target your donation to research on a specific disease (learn more about this option).Donate now
2. You can join us in celebrating life as a guest at an event! The events we put on are educational, inspirational and fun. Proceeds go to benefit cutting-edge mental health research. Please visit our calendar to find one in your area. Find an Event
3. You can volunteer to help set up or run an upcoming event. Please visit our calendar if you’d like to find one in your area, and contact Cindy Dyar if you’d like to help out. Contact Cindy
4. If you really want to do something great, you can host an event. So far all-star supporters Chris and Liz Browning and Ron and Barbara Balser have hosted fundraising dinners at their homes. If you have an idea and/or a venue, please let us know! You can even contact Cindy to learn more.
5. Finally, you can join our online community. From the get-go you will be able to receive our email newsletters, post comments to Brandon's blog, and be able to express what features you'd most like to see in this website in the future. If there is sufficient interest, we will set up a forum where you can share insights with fellow mental health advocates. The more people connect and spread knowledge, the less stigma will be a problem, and the faster research will get funded. Create an account today! Create an account
