Mardi Gras for Mental Health Gala

We're bringing Mardi Gras to Chicago & we cordially invite you to join us for an elegant evening of fun, live entertainment, authentic New Orleans cuisine, and more! The Idell-McCarthy Foundation is on a mission to bring more attention to the mental health crisis in our communities by creating programs & solutions that begin with addressing the whole person, thus benefitting the entire community. Mental health disparities affects everyone, whether directly or indirectly. Our annual gala is a celebration of consciousness to raise awareness, funding, and recognition for the many brave men & women who are on the frontlines of this global issue. With your support we can make a big impact in the lives of everyday people in need of guidance, support, & access to quality resources.

​

Our goal is to raise $50,000 to fund our empowerment & group therapy programs, while continuing to facilitate access to individual therapy for those who need it.
