This is a special event, 100% of all funds – registration, sponsorship, raffles – all support mental health initiatives at CMHA Kelowna. In fact, in the last 2 years, the event has raised over $150,000! We are incredibly grateful to the team at Orchard Park for the tremendous impact they are making right here in our community!

If you are interested in getting some visibility as a sponsor, participating as golfers, and supporting mental health, this is the event for you!

A note from Orchard Park (Primaris): Choosing the CMHA as our charity of choice was founded in our belief that we can be proponents of awareness and support for mental health initiatives. By bringing together people who share the same belief, who may have experienced the need for support, we can be the catalyst for open communication about mental health

The CMHA Kelowna Branch is a charity that promotes mental health through community-based programs and services, public education, advocacy, and research.

Keep Mental Health Top of Mind in BC

May 11, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

Over the past year, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) across BC has been fighting for increased mental health supports in our province. We are committed to creating a mentally healthy British Columbia, and we rely on supporters like you to help us get there. Together, we will.

In many ways it has been a fruitful year for mental health. The BC provincial government signed the federal health accord that identified mental health and addiction care as a priority in the health funding agreement. In addition, the 2017 BC provincial budget made significant investments in child and youth mental health. Earlier this month, we celebrated CMHA’s own Mental Health Week, a week-long celebration of mental health.

Still, we have friends and family members not able to access the treatment they need to recover from mental illness. Suicide continues to kill 500 British Columbians annually. And emergency rooms continue to be the only resort for far too many British Columbians who are suffering.

As we move into a new phase for our province, please help us continue the momentum toward early intervention so that people who are struggling with mental health issues get the support and treatment they need before a crisis happens—b4stage4. More than ever, we need your support to continue to push our leaders to make mental health a priority for BC.

Can you donate today? Your support will keep mental health top of mind in BC.

There’s no health without mental health.
