Where Brain Science, Wine, and Cuisine Sizzle!

​

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 29th Music Festival for Brain Health held on Saturday, September 9th at the Staglin Family Vineyard!

​

Through your attendance and generosity, $2.6 million was raised for One Mind, pushing our annual fundraising total to over $13.8 million. 

​

The day-long festival began with the Science & Innovation Symposium, which featured presentations from One Mind's 2023 Rising Star Awards, early-career scientists leading pivotal, innovative research to develop better treatments for mental illnesses. The Symposium also featured keynote speaker Steve Paul, M.D., CSO & President of Research and Development at Karuna Therapeutics, and the entrepreneurs of the One Mind Accelerator, an intensive program that aids early-stage startups developing real-world solutions to improve the lives of people facing mental health conditions.

The highlight of the festival was a performance by award-winning country singer/songwriter Martina McBride. The mental health advocate's 90-minute set had patrons on their feet dancing and singing along with her Grammy award winning hits.

​

The festival also featured a world-class wine tasting and culinary experience that paired exquisite wines with culinary delights by award-winning Chef Ken Frank and caviar from Caviar Russe. The VIP Wine Dinner under the stars, featuring James Beard Semifinalist Cassidee Dabney, contributed $750,000 to our total raised, thanks to the generosity of our passionate guests.

​

We are so grateful to all of the sponsors, donors, and attendees who made this year's Music Festival for Brain Health such a success. Your support is helping us to make a real difference in the lives of people facing mental health challenges.

Join us next year for the 30th Annual Music Festival for Brain Health!
