We can't say 'Thank you!' enough to all the generous members of our community who support our work. So to 'shout out' our gratitude from the proverbial rooftops, we've launched the CMHRC Family of Donors recognition page on our website. 

In Memoriam & Remembrance

At CMHRC, we hold in our hearts the cherished memories of those who have left a lasting impact on our lives. This page is a tribute to their legacy, a place where their names shine brightly.

Honoring Loved Ones

When you visit this page on our website, you'll discover a section dedicated to

"In Memoriam." Here, we pay tribute to those who have passed away, and whose memory lives on through the thoughtful gifts made to CMHRC.

Carmine Errico: A Legacy of Support

CMHRC's Executive Director, Elizabeth Errico, knows the power of family support firsthand. Her father, Carmine Errico, whose memory we honor, was a guiding light in her life. Elizabeth shared with us, "My father was a physician who dedicated his life to taking care of women and children. I've felt very blessed that my father and mother have always supported me, my family, and my work helping others." When her father 

passed away late last year,  Elizabeth's mother suggested a beautiful way to keep his spirit alive. In lieu of flowers, family and friends were directed to make a gift to CMHRC in Carmine's name. These gifts are a testament to a life well-lived and a legacy of helping others.

Harold Workman: An Annual Tribute

Harold Workman's daughter and grandchildren are valuable members of our community. On the anniversary of his passing, they chose to remember him with a gift that speaks volumes. "An annual gift on the anniversary of a loss can be therapeutic for family and friends," our development advisor told us. "It provides an opportunity to remember our lost loved ones, to put some good into the world in their name, and to gain a sense of peace."

 

Quddus Sinclair: Forever Remembered

Even though Quddus Sinclair, brother of CMHRC's board chair, Kamal Sinclair, passed away more than a decade ago, his memory remains vibrant. Friends described him as "one of the most beautiful souls... an earnest, humble, and wonderful person." His family and friends keep his love alive in their hearts. Today, we honor Quddus, doing our part to ensure that he will never be forgotten.

 

These heartfelt stories remind us that every donation in memory of a loved one is a tribute to their enduring spirit and a beacon of hope for those in need. If you, too, wish to create a lasting legacy, consider making a gift to CMHRC in their name. Your contribution will help us continue our mission and bring hope to many. To learn more about gifts in memoriam, contact Jana Cupp, Director of Development at jana@cmhrc.org.

 

Join Us in Giving Thanks

As the Thanksgiving season approaches, so does our annual 'Giving Thanks' campaign at CMHRC. Throughout November, we embark on a heartfelt journey of gratitude and generosity, culminating in the global event, Giving Tuesday, the week after Thanksgiving.  

 

Honoring Our Generous Supporters

During this special month, we pause to express our deepest gratitude to the incredible donors who make CMHRC's mission possible. Your unwavering commitment to children, families, and the dedicated providers who serve them is a beacon of hope in the lives of those affected by Mood Disorders, Bipolar, and FOH. Thank you!

 

Be a Part of Something Bigger

We invite you to be a part of this impactful campaign. Every contribution, regardless of its size, plays a pivotal role in helping us reach our goal of raising $25,000 throughout November. Your support is more than a donation; it's a lifeline for children in need.

 

With your help, we can bring hope and healing to children facing these challenging conditions. Your generosity fuels our mission to provide vital resources, support, and guidance to those who need it most.

 

Monthly Giving for Ongoing Impact

Consider taking your support to the next level by becoming a monthly donor. With a monthly gift, you provide sustained support that allows us to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families.

 

Act Today, Change Lives

Don't wait until November—take action today! Your early gift not only kickstarts our campaign but also extends a hand of hope to those who need it urgently. Your contribution matters more than you can imagine.

Hassle Free Giving

Would you like to support our mission without the fuss of campaign reminders? There's a effortless way to make a meaningful difference!

 

Be a monthly advocate for children's mental health.

Your Monthly Gift: Year-Round Impact

A recurring monthly gift is a year-round investment in the well-being of children, families, and the CMHRC community. It's simple to set up, and the best part is, sustaining donors like you won't receive campaign reminders because you're already making an impact!

 

As a sustaining donor, you will feel proud to know that your monthly gift provides critical support to supplement all of CMHRC's advocacy, outreach, and educational programs while giving CMHRC the financial flexibility to respond to urgent and new opportunities quickly. 

 

Lead the Way, Starting Today

Don't wait! Take the lead by setting up your recurring gift today. Your consistent support ensures that we can continue our essential work and be prepared for whatever challenges and opportunities lie ahead.

 

Join the ranks of sustaining donors who are helping us create lasting change, one month at a time. Together, we can build a brighter future for all.
