She highlighted the critical impact of their support, which she described as essential for fueling life-changing efforts in mental health. “Every ticket purchased, every auction bid, and every donation fuels life-changing efforts,” Tessier noted, encapsulating the spirit of the event.
Special thanks and recognition was given to Alex, the owner of Au Vieux Duluth. His significant role and unwavering support are instrumental in the success of the fundraiser. The collaboration between CMHA and local businesses like Au Vieux Duluth exemplifies the power of community partnership in addressing vital social issues.
