• $500.00 donated to Changes Club House, Beausejour, went towards individuals suffering with mental health issues where they can drop in and feel comfortable in a non-threatening and non-judgmental environment to support one another.

• Guidance office at Royal School, Winnipeg (Andrew’s Elementary School) - $100.00 to be used to purchase mental health related resources.

• SCI $500.00 award given to a graduate student (2007) who went that extra mile to help someone in need and has shown care and compassion to others.

• HSC Foundation – $13,465.00 will go towards supporting the organization of a Symposium that focuses on topics specific to mood disorders, or suicide. The Symposium will be held yearly in Andrew’s name.  The Andrew Dunn Symposia will feature guest speakers to present to consumers, families, students and professionals working with individuals experiencing mental health issues.  An annual Symposium creates increased education opportunities for persons who are living with mental health issues, individuals who work with them or those who love and support them.  This will also be done in an effort to increase awareness and reduce stigma.

Please help us to help others.
