Background: A Dollar A Day Foundation was established to raise funds to close the gap between the
availability of mental health and addictions programs and the growing need for them. Founded by
Brendan Paddick, Alan Doyle, and Dr. Andrew Furey, A Dollar A Day Foundation is a simple, affordable
and empowering way to support frontline mental health and addictions programs. Everyone gives a
little--A Dollar A Day. We put our small change to work for big change. And as we do, we'll create a
social movement and build a stronger voice to make mental health a priority.
Please join us as we launch this important initiative in support of mental health and addictions on
Tuesday, February 6, 2018 at 11:00 a.m., at The Rooms. Members of the media are invited to attend;
interviews can be arranged upon request.
