The 4th annual Beautiful Minds Gala will be held for the first time at the Wichita Art Museum on Saturday, Oct 5 from 6 to 9 pm. Through our live and silent auctions, the event raises funds for MHA’s school=based prevention programs for children. By providing healthy and sustainable coping skills, the programs are aimed at reducing the impact of environmental factors that tend to lead to more incidences of mental illness later in life, such as lack of green spaces, food deserts, and low economic opportunities that negatively impact our city and drain resources from our taxpayer-funded social safety net.
