The gala was held in celebration of World Mental Health Day. Hosted by Frank Cusumano, the evening brought together supporters and community members, with CHADS co-founders Marian and Larry McCord in attendance. The event raised a record-breaking $427,000, the largest total in the nonprofit’s history. The funds will support its mission to save young lives by advancing the awareness and prevention of depression and suicide.
