BMHF Steps Campaign Raises Over $40,000
The Bermuda Mental Health Foundation [BMHF] is calling on the community to help raise the remaining $9,885.50 needed to reach its $50,000 fundraising goal ahead of its Steps to Mental Wellness 5K Walk & Wellness Fair on October 10.
A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Mental Health Foundation [BMHF] is calling on businesses, organizations, community groups and individuals across Bermuda to help carry its Steps to Mental Wellness fundraising campaign across the finish line after reaching an exciting new milestone of $40,114.50 raised toward its $50,000 goal.
“With just $9,885.50 remaining, BMHF is encouraging the community to build on the momentum and help achieve the $50,000 target in support of mental wellness initiatives in Bermuda.
“The fundraising campaign forms part of BMHF’s 4th Annual Steps to Mental Wellness 5K Walk & 2nd Annual Wellness Fair, proudly powered by CG Wellness, taking place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the Botanical Gardens – Camden House Lawn.”
“We are incredibly grateful to every organization, sponsor, team and individual who has helped us reach more than $40,000,” said a representative of the Bermuda Mental Health Foundation. “We are now less than $10,000 away from our goal, and we are asking Bermuda to help us close that gap. Whether an organization sponsors, enters a fundraising team, makes a contribution or encourages its employees to participate, every contribution brings us one step closer.”
The spokesperson said, “Funds raised will support the Foundation’s ongoing work to advance mental wellness in Bermuda, including its residential housing program BMHF currently has four homes accommodating 25 residents and is working toward its goal of providing residential facilities for 50 people.
“Organizations are also encouraged to participate in the Employer Fundraising Challenge, giving colleagues an opportunity to come together around a meaningful cause while raising funds and awareness for mental wellness.
“The event will be held on World Mental Health Day and will serve as the finale of Bermuda’s Mental Health Awareness Week. The morning will bring together individuals, families, schools, employers and community organizations for the 5K Walk, followed by the Wellness Fair featuring organizations and resources focused on health and wellbeing.
“BMHF extends its sincere appreciation to its sponsors and supporters, including the Government of Bermuda – Ministry of Health, MS Reinsurance, Arch Re, Chubb and Athene as well as the many organizations and individuals whose contributions have brought the campaign to this milestone.
