Clubhouse Ghana is organizing its maiden Virtual Fundraising and Thanksgiving Event (with the Zoom ID: 516 902 4011) in conjunction with Rotary E-Club of Chennai Shakthi in India in the name of Mental Health Rehabilitation and Advocacy as a whole. The virtual event slated for Saturday, 22nd October 2022 at 6pm GMT will immensely thank every contributing donor to date; and also detail the pledges and donations that have been received as Clubhouse Ghana opened its doors and began operations at their Oyarifa Office this year. *All donations will go towards saving lives and adopting patients. Every amount raised will be quantified to assure the donors of the specific amounts that will be utilized to take care of a patient's transportation, feeding, apprenticeship costs, training or actual rehabilitation, so that each donor knows exactly where their money is going to. Essentially, donors can even keep in touch with the patients that they have supported financially and keep track of how their donations are used by the organization.* The goal is to first acknowledge all initial donors publicly and to thank in advance new partners, sponsors, corporations, organizations, philanthropists and supporters on an ongoing basis with Annual Fundraising and Thanksgiving events.

Our Ghanaian community needs to focus more attention on Mental Health and support Clubhouse Ghana as it continues to champion the cause publicly in order to sensitize individuals on the importance of Health and Wellness and Emotional Stability. We need to pay critical attention to the menace but also do our best to save our unfortunate brothers and sisters who happen to have fallen victims to the disease and varying conditions.
