9th Annual Mental (W)illness
Gala/Party for Picking Me FoundationMay 16, 2025 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Our fundraising event asks individuals to come celebrate the 9th annual Mental (W)illness, an evening honoring the will it takes to live with mental illness. So please join us this May 16th, Mental Health Month, to raise awareness and inspire acceptance around the misunderstood skin picking disorder, Dermatillomania. All proceeds will benefit our 501c3 nonprofit (tax ID: 81-3467970) the Picking Me Foundation, the only charity dedicated to this mental illness worldwide. We plan to host 100 cause-appreciating Chicagoans for a night of fun and philanthropy, many of whom are Lake Geneva residents. Our event will be at Pippin’s Tavern 39 East Chicago Avenue Chicago IL 60654 from 6-9pm featuring dueling pianos, incredible apps, intriguing cocktails, and an awesome silent auction.
We love working with organizations who also value mental health awareness and we are hoping you are interested in supporting our event! We would be so grateful if you were able to contribute to our silent auction. We will create a display on-site with signage and thanks to your company as well as thank you in graphics across our social media to over 50k followers through multiple posts, email blasts to 20k community members, and live during the event.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you!
