Unmasking the Stigma of Mental Illness
A capacity crowd enjoyed a merriment of Carnevale style entertainment that mirrored the age of opulence, complete with stunt performers, dancing dolls and a silks aerialist. Dawn Neufeld, co-host of KTXD's The Broadcast, presided over the evening festivities as Mistress of Ceremonies. Before dinner began all guests were asked to to reveal their identities in an effort to symbolically unmask the continued misconceptions and false beliefs of mental illness. At dinner guests feasted upon an elegant menu prepared by Wendy Krispin Caterers and enjoyed an after dinner treat of Puccini, performed by Grammy and Stellar Award Winning Artist, Andrea Wallace.
