The Southeastern Health Foundation board of trustees and the gala chairpersons and committee would like to invite the community to join them by supporting the 26th annual SeHealth Foundation’s Shine a Light on Behavioral Health — A Gala of Grateful Giving presented by Robins and Morton on Feb. 23 at the Southeastern North Carolina Agricultural Event Center, located 1027 E. U.S. 74 in Lumberton.
Entertainment for the evening will be Liquid Pleasure with Kenny Mann provided by Campbell University.
Proceeds from the 2018 Gala will benefit patients with psychiatric illnesses and substance use disorders whose needs are great. Our goal is to “shine a light” on these individuals and their family members with compassion, dignity and excellent care by supporting Southeastern Health’s efforts to expand our behavioral health capacity and to create indoor and outdoor patient therapeutic activity spaces. The addition of these designated rooms and therapeutic spaces will allow patients with psychiatric and substance abuse emergencies to receive the specialized treatment they need in a safe, secure environment.
Gala volunteers from throughout Robeson County are working to ensure this elegant black-tie event is memorable, with great emphasis on expanding and enhancing the care of behavioral health patients at Southeastern Health’s Southeastern Regional Medical Center.
Chairpersons Mr. and Mrs. Kenny Biggs and Chelsea Biggs are thrilled to have an opportunity to make a real difference in the care, education and facilities SeHealth offers.
“Chelsea and I are honored to be a part of this amazing journey, supporting the efforts to expand and advance Southeastern Health’s Behavioral Health Services Department,” said Bonnie Biggs. “Because of a personal connection, my family has been advocates for change, education and reform for behavioral health within our community for over 20 years.”
Since 1993, the Southeastern Health Foundation Gala has contributed more than $1.7 million to advance and promote Southeastern Health and the services it provides. The Southeastern Health Foundation’s annual gala brings a diverse group of more than 500 guests together for an elegant evening affair.
As a nonprofit hospital and foundation, we depend on a supportive community. The Southeastern Health Foundation strives continually to meet the health care needs of individuals in the communities we serve through the generosity of others. Through their contributions, our donors become a vital part of the health care team by providing resources that would not otherwise be available.
“We have a long journey of reform, education, providing safe, secure environment and treatments for many facets of behavioral health,” Bonnie said.
“We must ‘shine a light on it’ to provide care, education and support to first responders, families and the staff that encounter many of these patients and citizens,” Chelsea said.
Please consider joining with us Feb. 23 as we “shine a light” on behavioral health.
