In support of National Suicide Prevention Month this September, buy a raffle ticket for a beautiful, handmade throw-sized quilt* donated by community member Lynn Bruno. Donations will support Glen Ellyn Youth and Family Counseling Service (GEYFCS) in helping youth and families in crisis.

Raffle tickets will be sold from August 15 through the end of September. The winning ticket will be drawn at the end of the last day of Suicide Prevention Month, September 30. Tickets are $20 each; 6 tickets for $100.

GEYFCS is a not-for-profit agency whose mission is to provide counseling for youth, families, and individuals in the Glen Ellyn area. Since the pandemic, 91% of the families served are at or below the federal poverty level. Mental health services are needed now more than ever, and GEYFCS can help reduce barriers to these services by providing counseling at no cost or at a low cost. No one is ever denied services because of an inability to pay. GEYFCS has been providing mental health services in Glen Ellyn for over 45 years.   

Please buy your tickets now. Not only will you have a chance to win this beautiful quilt, you will be supporting GEYFCS and raising awareness for Suicide Prevention.

*The quilt's beautiful and intricate design reminded the creator of mental health and was chosen with this in mind. GEYFCS is extremely grateful to Lynn Bruno for this donation!
