SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, TICKETS, AND TRIBUTES
Low-income people with mental health disabilities are much more likely to succeed in fighting housing discrimination, accessing public benefits, and connecting to other community resources when they have a legal advocate by their side. Your support helps Mental Health Advocacy Services ensure that our clients have the dignity, respect, and quality of life that they deserve.
All sponsors and their guests are invited to join us in-person at the event. MHAS does not limit the number of guests a sponsor can bring. If you are unable to attend the event, your ticket will be extended as a complimentary ticket to one of our community partners.
