I am writing to you with a call to action: On Nov. 12-13, 2021, the Lee and Bob Peterson Foundation will present the Sunshine from Darkness “Journey to Wellness Symposium” and “Inspiring Hope Dinner” in Sarasota. I made the decision to re-introduce these events to continue the efforts my parents guided for 15 years, raising more than $5 million for mental health research. Today, I ask that you consider sponsoring these events and help to support mental health services in Sarasota-Manatee as well as cutting-edge mental health research.
