The Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Foundation is pleased to announce that its annual Holiday Festival raised more than $178,000 to support SBL Behavioral Health Services.
All proceeds from the event will help Behavioral Health Services (BHS) provide emergent needs for uninsured patients, resources for providers to use in therapy, assistance with the substance abuse crisis in the communities SBL serves and fund school assemblies to address mental health needs of area youth.
“Proceeds from this year’s Holiday Festival will assist our BHS team as it continues to address mental health needs in this region,” SBL Special Events Officer Kim Lockart said. “We’re very appreciative of everyone who supported the Holiday Festival in any way.”
Lockart continued, “The Foundation and committee are already looking forward to Holiday Festival 2024 - seeing the creativity of our designers and sharing the event with our generous donors and the community.”
