Regional mental health needs highlight Changing Minds event

Funds support MultiCare Behavioral Health

Tickets are now available for Changing Minds, an annual benefit of the MultiCare Behavioral Health Foundation to create awareness of and support for mental health issues.

The fundraiser highlights the demand for mental health services in our region, and how MultiCare Behavioral Health has responded by integrating mental health treatment into primary care settings through collaborative care and school-based partnerships.

A luncheon will be held Tuesday, May 7, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt Seattle’s Leonesa Ballroom, 721 Pine St., Seattle. While tickets are free, guests will be asked to make a minimum donation of $150.

Former Evening Magazine host Angela Poe Russell will emcee the event. Other speakers at Changing Minds include MultiCare Behavioral Health providers and a patient who will discuss the impact of accessible behavioral health care.

The deadline to reserve tickets to the luncheon is April 30.

Spring has finally sprung — time to welcome it properly at the 13th Annual Gig Harbor Beer Festival. This year’s event will be held Saturday, May 18, 2024, at the Gig Harbor Uptown Pavilion, 4701 Pt. Fosdick Dr. This long-running popular event features a wide-variety of craft brewers from around the Puget Sound bringing their very best suds for sample pours from 12 noon to 5:00 PM.

More brewers will be added soon, but here’s what the list looks like so far:

  • 7 Seas Brewing
  • Acorn Brewing
  • Bent Bine Brewing
  • Crane Castle Brewing
  • Ghostfish Brewing
  • Gig Harbor Brewing
  • Lazy Boy Brewing
  • Narrows Brewing
  • Rainy Daze Brewing
  • Ridgeline Brewing
  • Silver City Brewery
  • San Juan Seltzer
  • Locust Cider
  • 2 Towns Cider

Gig Harbor’s own Heritage Distilling Company will also be in attendance again this year offering samples of their award-winning spirits — always a very special treat for event goers.

The LIVE Music venue includes three local artists/bands: Classic rock from RAUCOUS, country music singer, Gene Sievers, and headlining again this year is Harbor favorite, My Guilty Pleasure.

This year looks like it could be another sellout. If you don’t have tickets, go here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/13th-annual-gig-harbor-beer-festival-tickets-815717843027?aff=ebdshpsearchautocomplete
