Join the UNC PSYCHIATRY team for the 24th Annual Thad & Alice Eure Walk for Hope! The Walk takes place on Sunday, October 14th, 2012 at 10:00am. Want to run instead of walk? Now you can! New this year, the Run for Hope begins at 8:00am.
The Foundation for Hope holds the annual Walk for Hope to fund local scientific research to find causes, cures, and more effective treatments for mental illness. This is a fantastic opportunity to support those living with mental illness in the community, as well as those who are working to study and treat those illnesses. 100% of the proceeds from the Walk for Hope are awarded as “seed” money for UNC research projects.
The UNC Department of Psychiatry has a 2012 Walk fundraising goal of $6,000 – help us meet that goal by donating to the UNC Psychiatry team!
Raffle tickets are available– you could win an Apple iPad, a $75 gift certificate to 42nd Street Oyster Bar, a $500 gift certificate to Patio Pro, and more! Raffle tickets are $1/each, or $5/6 tickets or $20/25 tickets. See Jennifer Hornaday to purchase raffle tickets or to get raffle ticket books to sell.
