In collaboration with The Beat on Market Street, Neil St. Blues and First Followers invite you to Mind & Soul, a Mental Health Awareness Dinner focused on healing, resilience, and honoring members of our community whose stories deserve to be recognized.

Guests will enjoy a free dinner provided by Neil St. Blues while hearing from a featured mental health speaker who will share insights on wellness, healing, and the importance of caring for ourselves and one another. The evening will also include a community recognition ceremony. Beginning in August, community members will have the opportunity to nominate individuals they believe deserve to be honored, whether for their service to others, their impact on the community, or simply for persevering through life's challenges with strength and grace. Selected honorees will receive recognition, a commemorative award, and gifts during the event.

A photographer will be on site throughout the evening, and stories, testimonials, and highlights from the event may be featured by the City of Champaign, local media outlets, and community partners.

This is a free RSVP event. Seating is limited to 150 guests and RSVP is required for every attendee. One complimentary dinner is included with registration. Additional food, desserts, and alcoholic beverages will be available for separate purchase. While dinner is free, tips for restaurant staff are encouraged and appreciated.

Whether you're coming to support a loved one, celebrate an honoree, learn from others, or simply be part of an uplifting evening, Mind & Soul is about recognizing the power of community and reminding one another that none of us are alone.
