NAMI Celebrates Advancements At Annual Gala

Posted

On October 6, NAMI Anne Arundel County held its second annual gala. This year’s theme was “Celebrating Advancements.” Speakers included Senator Ed Reilly and NAMI National board of directors president Adrienne Kennedy. Among those honored for their contributions to the mental health community were Cathryn Wingate from Anne Arundel Medical Center/Pathways; Sue Urban from University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center; Corporal Shawn Kauffman, an Anne Arundel County crisis intervention officer; and Anne Arundel County Police Chief Timothy Altomare. Attendees were encouraged to “be the lighthouse in someone else’s storm” and to help cure the stigma surrounding struggles with mental illness.
