Do you love events and want to help raise money for a good cause? If so, we need you! Families for Depression Awareness, a Waltham-based nonprofit, is in preparations for our September 22, 2023 annual fundraising event. The event will take place at the Crowne Plaza Boston-Woburn. Currently, we are looking for people to help with the following:
- Event planning
- Fundraising (e.g., silent auction or other ideas)
- Event PR, creating a marketing campaign to grow our attendee list
- Sponsorships (sending sponsorship opportunities to local companies).
Families for Depression Awareness helps families recognize and cope with depression and bipolar disorder to get people well and prevent suicides. Funds raised from our event, An Evening of Hope and Discovery, will support our programs for teens and families.
