On October 10, 2020, World Mental Health Day, Compass Health will host its fourth annual ‘Building Communities of Hope Gala,’ which honors client stories and voices will be streamed live on YouTube. Proceeds from the evening will support Compass Health’s child, youth and family services.
The evening will feature an address by Compass Health President and CEO, Tom Sebastian followed by a video presentation led by Amanda, a Compass Health client and team member.
Amanda, whose son was a client of Compass Health’s WISe youth wraparound services, was so inspired by the treatment and care that he received that she joined the organization as a parent partner with WISe almost two years ago. Now, the mother and son are teaming up to share their journey to help destigmatize conversations surrounding mental health care.
The BCOH Gala’s silent auction opens on October 6, at 10 a.m. PDT and closes on the night of the event at 6:10 p.m. The Gala will be broadcast live on YouTube starting at 5:30 p.m. PDT on October 10, beginning with live music from Seattle jazz ensemble, Ambience.
After the silent auction closes, the live event will proceed with client testimonials, a word from Sebastian, a raise-the-paddle donation opportunity and a two-item live auction. The event will conclude at 6:30 p.m.
