Wings of Hope 2026 fundraiser to support the behavioral health programs of the CRC
On Wednesday, October 14th, we held our 2nd Annual Wings of Hope fundraiser at The Morton Arboretum.
Attendees included community partners, advocates, and supporters who are all dedicated to strengthening behavioral health crisis resources in DuPage County. Thanks to the generosity of our guests and sponsors, the event raised more than $45,000 to directly support programs and services at the DuPage County Crisis Recovery Center (CRC).
During the event, we announced a new annual honor that we named the Wings of Hope Award. We will recognize individuals who champion our work with heart, purpose, and unwavering commitment.
Sam Tornatore, DHM Board President, presented the inaugural Wings of Hope Award to DuPage County Board Chair Deb Conroy, whose leadership has guided and supported the Crisis Recovery Center effort from its earliest days.
