Kids’ Minds Matter to host Secret Garden Gala in March

Kids’ Minds Matter’s fourth annual Secret Garden Gala will be held at 5:30 p.m. on March 4 at Southwest Florida Event Center in Bonita Springs.

This year’s keynote speaker is mental health advocate and best-selling author Kevin Hines, who will share his personal struggles with mental illness and the story of his survival following his near-fatal jump off the Golden Gate Bridge.

The event features hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, dinner, entertainment and exclusive experiences available through a live auction. Recommended attire is “Garden Cocktail.”

NBC2 anchor Kellie Burns will emcee the event, and benefit auctioneer Rick Gallo will lead a “Fund the Need” auction to generate additional support.
