LA GRANGE – Two local restaurants, Celebrations! and Lulus!, held dinners in February with HeartBrand Beef providing steaks for the event.
The proceeds from the dinners benefited the Red Door Fund for Mental Health (RDF) of the Fayette Community Foundation, to support mental health aware- ness, services and providers in the area.
The RDF wants to thank HeartBrand Beef, Lulu’s of Round Top, and Celebrations! by Bistro 108 for holding dinner events in 'Be Kind February.'
Heartbrand Beef graciously donated Akaushi New York Strip steaks to the restaurants, which were then delectably prepared by their master chefs. Celebrations! held their dinner on Saturday, February 18, while Lulu's served their first dinner on Sunday, Feb - ruary 19, and continued to serve RDF dinners until they ran out of steak.
Celebrations! raised $2,600 and Lulu’s raised $1,375 for the RDF. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and RDF wants to recognize the owners of these three companies, Susan Kuehler and Mike McCathern of Celebrations!, Cinda and Arman- do Palacios of Lulu's, and Jordan Beeman of HeartBrand, for partnering in this effort. Thank you to all those who purchased dinners as well.
The funds raised will directly support mental health needs in the region including mental health training and improving access to mental health services.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the RDF is committed to raising awareness and providing support to those in need. The RDF encourages ev eryone to practice self-care, send a text or make a call or a visit to a loved one, or share powerful stories to ensure everyone has at least one person (Red Door) in their close circle of friends, family and peers.
