Laughter is the best medicine

Kelly Beeler, Sandy Sturm, and Mariana Pope (pictured, from left) attended The Jung Center’s Spring Benefit along with 250 others at River Oaks Country Club. The event, It’s Okay to Laugh, brought together a young crowd to celebrate The Jung Center’s work to improve mental health in the community. Co-chairs Consuelo and Ian Macpherson and Sandy and Tim Sturm put together a wonderful event honoring David Spaw, founder of Healing Circles Houston, an organization that facilitates healing from loss and grief, and Kimberly Hixson Spaw who serves on the HSPVA Friends Board of Directors for the Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. Guests enjoyed a laugh-so-hard-you-cry performance by one of the country’s most popular comedians, Gary Gulman, who also happens to live with mental illness.
