For 25 years, MCF has brought family voice into conversations about issues that impact families who love someone with a behavioral health challenge. Each year, we invite around 200 families to join us in Annapolis to hear from key policymakers and to speak to their elected representatives about legislation that impacts them and their loved one. The event is offered at no cost to participants and MCF provides transportation and meals at the Governor Calvert House in downtown Annapolis.
In order to continue to offer and expand this event, we rely on generous sponsorships from our community. There are many ways to get involved and we hope you will consider becoming a Family Day Sponsor and be a part of this empowering day of advocacy to elevate family voice.
$100 - Sponsor a Family or $50 - Sponsor a Youth
