More than 400 supporters of re:MIND gathered at River Oaks Country Club for the Circles of Hope luncheon. Carol Dehan, Jennifer and Walter O'Donnell, Franna Litton, David Kinder and Marie Louise Kinder, event co-chairs Christine and Blake Williams, Polly Whittle and John and Stacy Kinder enjoyed the afternoon that celebrated the 20th anniversary of re:MIND’s depression and bipolar support groups that are free to the community. Event chairs Christine and Blake Williams welcomed keynote speaker Zak Williams, son of late actor Robin Williams, who spoke to the crowd that raised nearly $420,000 to continue the support groups in the community. Board chairman Mary Catherine Sharman introduced honoree David Kinder who received the 2023 Gary Levering Mental Health Impact Award. Kinder has been a member of the re:MIND board of directors since 2015 and previously served as board chair. He and his wife Marie Louise Kinder were luncheon co-chairs in 2017.
