Mental Health Awareness Luncheon

Orchard Place’s inaugural Rooted in Resilience Mental Health Awareness Luncheon brought our community together and raised $87,297 in support of children and families across Iowa.

Thank you to our donors, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees who helped make this event so meaningful. We are especially grateful to our presenting sponsor, Nationwide, for their continued support and commitment to mental health.

A heartfelt thank you to Randy and Amanda Wanke for sharing Norah’s story as our keynote speakers. Their honesty, vulnerability, and advocacy served as a powerful reminder of the importance of mental health awareness, connection, and hope.

Together, our community continues to strengthen support for the children and families we serve every day.
