Mason, OH –The seventh annual Touchdown for HOPE Super Bowl Sunday took place on February 7, 2016, at the Great American Ballpark Champions Club. A fun and upscale Super Bowl 50 watch party, the event raised awareness about mental illness while raising funds for important research.

Once again, proceeds from the event will enhance local research being done in Bipolar and Mood Disorders at Lindner Center of HOPE.

With the generosity from 30 local sponsors, special donors, and attendees, the event raised nearly $300,000 with sponsorships, donations, registration of more than 300 guests and a match from the Marriott Foundation, for Bipolar and Mood Disorders Research at Lindner Center of HOPE.

“Mood disorders are the most common form of psychiatric illness and are among the leading causes of disability worldwide,” said Dr. Paul E. Keck, Jr., President & CEO of Lindner Center of HOPE. “The study of these devastating illnesses is extremely complex. In spite of the unprecedented growth in the diagnosis of these illnesses, research continues to be under-funded; while much work is still needed to enhance our understanding of these illnesses, the risk factors and the most effective forms of treatment.”

 

According to Dr. Susan L. McElroy, M.D., Lindner Center of HOPE Chief Research Officer, “ The research occurring in the field right now is extremely exciting. The positive steps we are taking in genetic research and medication development are ones that I never thought I’d live to see.”

 

Touchdown for HOPE is a classy and fun Super Bowl party with big screen televisions, plush seating, and signature Cincinnati food favorites and other upscale tailgate-style treats. All taking place in a sports fan’s dream location –overlooking the baseball field.

 

Originally conceived in 2010 by Scott Robertson, Carl Satterwhite, John Ryan, Francie Hiltz and Sue Lawrence, this annual event has consistently raised over $200,000 and continues to improve the lives of those suffering with mental illness.

In its sixth year, Mason-based treatment center has expanded facilities, treated more than 23,000 patients

 

MASON – (Aug. 18, 2014) – As the Lindner Center of HOPE celebrates its sixth anniversary this month, the facility that provides scientifically-advanced care for those suffering with mental illness has made a global impact, helped to increase public awareness about mental and addictive disorders, and continues to raise funds to support demand for treatment.

 

When the center opened in 2008, it was the first free-standing behavioral health center built nationwide since 2001. And today, the 36-acre campus based in Mason has become one of the most sought-after facilities in the country.

 

“We wanted to provide a place where people suffering with mental illness could get some of the best treatment in the United States,” said President and CEO Paul Keck. “I am proud of the positive strides our team has made in helping patients recover their lives, but we still face so many challenges – from insufficient coverage by insurers to the stigmas associated with mental illness. We have to do our part to shift the narrative.”

 

Keck cites national statistics that show mental illness is the country’s primary health problem. Twenty percent of adults in the United States suffer from mental illness according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Left untreated, mental illness leads to lost productivity in the workplace, places a strain on families, and leads to unnecessary incarceration.

 

The growth of the center and the rise in the number of patients it has treated over six years suggests there was a gap between the need for care and the availability of care. Consider the Center has:

  • Served more than 23,000 patients from 48 states and seven countries.
  • Had more than 7,000 hospital admissions.
  • Had more than   225,000 outpatient visits.
  • Served more than 700 patients at Sibcy House, the 10-day short-term intensive adult treatment program.
  • Created a 21-day adolescent diagnostic treatment program.

 

The Center is now in the midst of a $15 million Advancing HOPE Campaign, and has raised $11.1 million. The funds will allow the Center to continue to support mental health research, and provide mental health programs and services.

 

“We are so grateful for people who understand the importance of diagnosing and treating mental illness, and their support is crucial to our long-term success,” Keck said. “Mental illness is more common than heart disease, cancer and other health concerns, and we must make sure we approach treatment just as we would other medical conditions.”
