SUNSHINE FROM DARKNESS

Spirit of Giving - December 2022

NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION SUNSHINE FROM DARKNESS , a subsidiary of the Lee and Bob Peterson Foundation, is building on the legacy and vision of Lee and Bob Peterson and their dedication to providing mental health wellness education and raising funds for local charities that provide mental health and addiction services. Mental health services in the State of Florida are seriously underfunded: Florida ranks 49th among states for mental health programs and access to mental health care. The behavioral health system in Sarasota County has been unable to meet the steadily increasing demand for services, with unmet needs rapidly increasing. Mental health services save lives, while improving the outlook for people who feel hopeless and lost. Untreated mental health problems can be devastating for individuals and their families. Sunshine From Darkness is committed to stopping the adverse outcomes and the economic cost of untreated mental illness and funding mental health and addiction services in our community.

Our WishList:

At this time, Sunshine From Darkness is seeking support for and attendance at its January 13 Inspiring Hope Dinner, featuring Grammy and Tony Award-winning actress/ singer Jennifer Holliday, as well as an underwriter for the online Mental Health Directory the organization is seeking to build as a resource for the community.
