Illuminating Hope Where It’s Needed Most

Fundraising Events

Light Beyond the Shadows

In every shadow, a spark of light awaits—waiting to be kindled by hearts like yours. Through your generosity, we ignite flames of compassion that reach deep into the lives of those living with mental illness and PTSD, guiding them from silence and isolation toward healing, connection, and the dawn of renewed hope.

At the Wendellman Foundation, our fundraising events are more than mere gatherings—they are sacred moments where hope takes flight, where voices rise in solidarity, and where communities unite to rewrite the stories of countless lives.

Join us. Stand with us. Be the light that breaks through the darkness, the hope that inspires change, and the force that transforms lives. Together, we can create a world where no shadow is too dark to overcome.

The Difference Only You Can Make

The funds raised through our events are seeds of hope, planting safe havens and nurturing care that restore dignity and renew lives. Each contribution builds more than shelter—it creates a sanctuary where healing begins and resilience grows. Beyond these tangible gifts, our gatherings awaken awareness, dissolving the shadows of stigma that too often surround mental illness. Together, we weave a tapestry of compassion and understanding, binding hearts and minds in shared strength. Through your support, we illuminate the path from isolation to connection, from silence to powerful voices—creating a community where every life is valued and every story honored.
