For All Seasons had to pivot this spring to re-invent its annual Heart & Music fundraising event as a virtual campaign. Over the past 11 years, Heart & Music has raised around $80,000 annually for For All Seasons mental health and victim services on the Mid-Shore. This year, instead of its traditional in-person event, the organization hosted a ten-day virtual “Give With Your Heart” campaign in March and exceeded its $100,00 campaign goal, raising $103,993.

“The For All Seasons Team is grateful for the outpouring of support we received during our ten-day Give With Your Heart Campaign. This important annual fundraiser is a critical piece of our yearly fundraising target, and our amazing community showed up in force. We can’t thank our donors enough for stepping up and helping us to serve all community members – regardless of their ability to pay,” Beth Anne Langrell, CEO of For All Seasons.

“We especially want to thank Paul and Joanne Prager, the Warren L. Allen Family Fund, and Jim and Cindy Reed for giving matching dollars which pushed us over our initial goal.”

Since March 2020, For All Seasons has delivered over 30,000 clinical visits and welcomed over 1,100 new cli­ents.  The cost to care for each client leaves a coverage gap that can only be met with the community’s support. This year’s online campaign captured the heart of our community – using the power of song, personal stories, and giving – through a virtual heart wall.  Daily videos showcased individual stories of mental health and the importance of reaching out for help, including a culminating video featuring a special song from For All Seasons very own Heart & Music cast.
