The Balanced Mind Foundation wins $250,000 Contest from Pepsi Refresh

Funds will expand support for youth battling stigma and isolation of depression and bipolar disorder

The Power of One

This morning I had a wonderful surprise waiting on my laptop – overnight The Balanced Mind Foundation moved up from #10 to #9 in the Pepsi Refresh Contest.  An hour later I checked again and we’re at #8.  How did this happen?  Through each of you and the power of ONE.  Every ONE vote, every ONE email, every ONE person that you ask to help.  It’s the power of all of these ones that is making a difference and will help us to WIN.

The Balanced Mind Foundation Volunteers Take on a New Challenge

Our 100+ volunteers are the backbone of the The Balanced Mind Foundation support programs. Their commitment to our families and children shows in the many ways that they give back on our support groups, forums, chat rooms and Family Response Team. This same commitment is showing in their enthusiasm and energy for the Pepsi Refresh Contest.  Take a look at the YouTube videos made to support our competition:
