The Alma Rosa Winery in Solvang is preparing for its fourth annual ‘Peace of Mind: 10,000 steps in the Right Direction’ fundraising walk.
The winery started the walk in 2020 to support mental health community services and fund depression research and treatment efforts.
“Many of us have been affected by mental health issues, either personally or among our friends and family the past few years with the pandemic and the isolation that brought,” said Debra Eagle of Alma Rose Winery.
The approximately 4.5-mile walk will take place at Alma Rosa's vineyard property off Santa Rosa Rd. in Buellton.
Winery officials say the last three Peace of Mind walks raised a total of $541,000.
“We really believe that the funds we're raising are going towards helping people through that sense of isolation and helping them, you know, just maintain their mental health,” Eagle said.
Proceeds from this year’s fundraiser will go to the Mental Wellness Center of Santa Barbara and One Mind, a brain health research organization.
The fundraiser walk will be on Saturday, July 22 at 9 a.m.
Registration will be open through Friday, July 21. Click here to sign up or donate.
Tickets are also available for a private, three-course luncheon following the walk.
