Performance Lexus has participated in the 2017 Women and Wellness Educational Fundraiser as a Community Advocate Sponsor, and has helped raise over $54,500 for Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Niagara's Walk-In Counselling Program.
The event, titled Building a Mental Wellness Community, was held on February 16, 2017 at Club Roma in St. Catharines, and was attended by over 700 people. Performance Lexus helped encourage on-site donations through a Drive Your Dreams Weekend giveaway, which saw people bidding to win a dream Niagara getaway package in a top-of-the-line luxury performance car.
The vehicle was a 2017 Lexus NX 200t F SPORT in stunning Solar Flare, and was given away for a full weekend along with an overnight stay in an upscale hotel, dinner at fancy restaurants, and tickets to popular attractions. The event raised much-needed funds to support community-level mental health programs, and educated guests on common mental health conditions and the treatments and support available for each of them.
Performance Lexus General Manager Niels Pedersen said he was very proud to have sponsored an important event like Women and Wellness. "It is imperative to fund and support initiatives around mental health to ensure the availability of counselling programs in every community. Organizations like the CMHA are working towards exactly this goal, and provide much-needed support to people living with mental health conditions. Therefore, we are very proud to have sponsored the 7th Annual Women and Wellness event," said Niels.
The fundraiser saw numerous speakers discuss their experiences with mental health, and was headlined by well-known comedian, author and public speaker Susan Stewart.
Performance Lexus's sponsorship of the 7th Annual Women and Wellness event is a part of Performance Auto Group's Drive Change initiative, which ensures that our organization gives back visibly to the communities which we serve.
