Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services held its fourth annual "Champions of Hope" fundraiser on May 13, 2010.  This year's event nearly doubled last year's results, raising $40,000 for GCB's programs and services. The fundraiser was planned by a group of dedicated volunteers and staff, lead by Co-Chairs Mary Moran and Lois Wenstrup. Guests at the event enjoyed heavy hors d’oeuvres and wine, a silent auction and raffle.

The 2010 event Keynote Speaker was Dr. Tracey Skale, a nationally recognized expert on schizophrenia and Chief Medical Officer of GCB.

The 2010 Champions of Hope Honorees were Evie Foulkes of the Open Door Ministry of the Church of the Advent, and Rick Wagner of GCB's Board of Directors.

GCB extends its sincere thanks to all of the corporate and individual sponsors, the silent auction donors, and all attendees for making the event such a huge success.
