Rock Hill Golf & Country Club Saturday, September 7, 2013 Many Thanks to our Sponsors, Donors & Supporters! Chrissy’s Wish could not continue if it weren’t for the generosity and kindness of so many people, and for that we are truly grateful!!
We ask that you keep this program throughout the coming year to use as a reference of sponsors & supporters on the following pages, and please consider supporting their businesses as a thank you for their continued generosity. A Message From Linda and Mario Seven years have come and gone since our daughter Chrissy left this world, but her wish to find peace of mind will continue to live on! Chrissy died on July 25, 2006, taking a large part of our lives with her, and leaving us with a deep insight into the world of mental illness and the immediate need for research. On behalf of the millions of people who continue to struggle with a mental illness, and in honor of Chrissy, who despite her brief 26 years on this earth, and who continues to open minds, hearts & eyes to the torments of mental illnesses, we thank each and everyone for your support, contributions, and prayers. Weeks after Chrissy’s death, and after speaking with the American Mental Health Association, we chose to partner with the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, formerly NARSAD. BBRF is a non- profit 501(c)3 charity where 100% of EVERY DOLLAR donated goes directly to mental health research in the form of NARSAD Grants. These grants have lead to discoveries in understanding causes and improving treatments of disorders in children and adults, such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism, ADHD and anxiety disorders such as OCD and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, just to mention a few. For more information regarding BBRF log onto www.bbrFoundation.org Since the inception of Chrissy’s Wish Memorial Fund, and thanks to the generosity of so many, we have been able to donate over $370,000 to mental health research, yet, so much more is needed! The sad fact is that every person, whether personally, or through a loved one or close friend, HAS or WILL be affected by a mental illness. One in every four people in the U.S. are diagnosed with a mental illness each year, but how many people don’t reach out for help and are not even part of this statistic? It’s also a sad fact that the medical and research community do not fully understand the complexities of the brain, and therefore cannot effectively treat many of the ill- nesses. The answer is research, and research takes money! Through these last seven years we have walked a very different road and have viewed this world through very differ- ent eyes. We have spoken to people who struggle from the illness,with families who have lost children or other family members, and have cried & prayed with them with the hope of a better tomorrow…one that truly is a “world without mental illness”. It is our hope that through “Chrissy’s Wish” the stigma of mental illness, which makes many people ashamed or afraid to reveal their feelings, will be changed, and, in the near future, eliminated. Tearing down the stigma will prevent people from feeling the need to hide by self-medicating with drugs or alcohol, or end their lives to “stop their pain”. It is time to be open to the struggles of mental illness, thereby giving permission for those who need the help, to get the help! Mental illness is not a personality flaw, weakness or contagious disease… IT IS AN ILLNESS THAT CAN BE TREATED and with research, the treatments will improve and cures are possible. We must bring HOPE to those who struggle so our world will not lose any more precious people like Chrissy and the future generations to come. It’s too late for Chrissy, but not too late for the millions who continue to struggle and search for THEIR peace of mind. It’s our promise to Chrissy that we will continue her search to find the answer that she was so desperately seeking, and it’s our promise to all the people who continue to suffer with mental illness, that no matter how difficult it may be, we will continue to knock on doors, raise public awareness to aid with tearing down the stigma, and hopefully open minds and hearts which will assist in raising money that is so needed to bring change to the world of mental illness.
Thank You and God Bless. “Walkdonated With by Sr. Mary Sorrow” Shalley
I walked 10 miles with PLEASURE And she chatted all the way But little did I learn… For all she had to say!!!
I walked ONE MILE with SORROW, And not a word spoke she, But oh what I learned,
When SORROW walked with me.
“We thank everyone who supports Chrissy’s Wish, and who share their compassion, caring and love, coming together to bring hope for a brighter future.”

13 year old Emily DiGregorio has raised $875 this year selling home baked cupcakes. This is her 3rd annual event. To date, Emily has raised over $2,000 for Chrissy’s Wish. Some people comeSome into our lives andPeople leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go... Some stay for awhile and embrace our silent dreams.
They help us become aware of the delicate winds of hope... and we discover within every human spirit there are wings yearning to fly.
They help our hearts to see that the only stairway to the stars is woven with dreams...and we find ourselves unafraid to reach high.
Some people awaken us to new and deeper realizations... for we gain insight from the passing whisper of their wisdom
Throughout our lives we are sent precious souls...meant to share our journey however brief or lasting their stay they remind us why we are here.
To learn... to teach... to nurture... to love
Some people come into our lives to teach us about love... The love that rests within ourselves.
They help us to see that everything on earth is part of the incredibility of life... and that it is always there for us to take of its joy.
Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same.
~by Flavia Weedn~ In honor and remembrance of all those who have left this world, but continue to guide, support and protect their loved ones! On July 25, 2006 our family was transformed forever, our hearts forever broken… yet with the love and support of countless people, we have managed to put some meaning to this tragedy, and to our existence. Chrissy’s Wish has given us a reason to go on, it’s a chance, a hope, a wish, that may help someone, somewhere, at sometime, to have a life with peace of mind.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Withthere the help ofwill some family be aand world very dear friends,without wonderful mental sponsors and generousillness! donations of goods and services, the seventh annual Chrissy’s Wish Fundraiser was made possible. It’s difficult to find the words to express our gratitude for all your support, loyalty and generosity, but please know that we will NEVER forget each and every one of you for helping to bring Chrissy’s Wish to life! We know Chrissy is smiling today, and we pray to her to gently wrap her wings around you and your families!
