Skyland Trail Associates Host Fifth Annual Spring Luncheon
Atlanta (February 2, 2012) The Skyland Trail Associates, an auxiliary group of volunteers and donors, announce their fifth Annual Spring Luncheon & Fashion Show Friday, March 16, 2012 at the Cherokee Town Club. The event raises funds for projects and programs at Skyland Trail, a nonprofit treatment facility for adults with mental illness.
This year's luncheon is highlighted by guest speaker Charlotte Pierce-Baker, PhD, professor of Women's and Gender Studies and English at Vanderbilt University and the author of "This Fragile Life: A Mother's Story of a Bipolar Son." She will share the moving story of her family's rigorous journey through an unpredictable mental illness.
"We are thrilled to have Dr. Pierce-Baker join us this year for the Skyland Trail Associates Luncheon." says Associates President Leigh Pollard. "This event has brought so much awareness about mental illness to our community and we're excited to have a speaker who can educate us by sharing her personal story. This is a great opportunity for good friends of the organization to share with new friends about how Skyland Trail can change lives."
Major sponsors for the 2012 luncheon include VeinInnovations, UBS, and Anna Pare Dermatology. For more information or to purchase tickets, please contact Ashley Vance at avance@skylandtrail.org or call at 678-686-5905.
