Zepf Center to Combat Mental Illness With 3rd
Annual “Serve Up an Ace”
Special to The Truth
The Zepf Center will host
its 3rd Annual “Serve Up an Ace” tennis
tournament and silent auction on Friday, March 5, 2010 from
7 to 11 p.m. at Laurel Hill Swim and Tennis Club, 2222 Cass
Road in Toledo, OH. Admission is $30 per person, $50 per
couple and is 60 percent tax deductible.
“The community has been
very supportive of this event and of the work that Zepf
Center does,” said Jennifer Moses, chief executive officer
for Zepf Center, a non-profit organization which provides
quality services for Lucas County children, adolescents and
adults with severe and persistent mental health disorders.
The Zepf Center recently
celebrated the first anniversary of its Child and Adolescent
Services division, which provides mental health services to
Lucas county youth primarily out of its 905 Nebraska Avenue
location.
The fundraiser will
include a silent auction, door prizes, a 50/50 raffle, hors
d’oeuvres, a cash bar, and entertainment provided by a disc
jockey. Those who attend but do not wish to participate in
the tennis tournament are invited to watch the competition
and enjoy the food and music. Anyone who would like to
attend can receive a registration form by calling Christina
Baskey at 419-841-7701 ext. 2207 or register online by going
to www.zepfcenter.org.
Proceeds from “Serve Up an
Ace” will go to the Elizabeth A. Zepf Foundation in support
of mental health recovery and vocational development for
Zepf Center consumers. The center and foundation are named
for Elizabeth A. Zepf, a staunch advocate for consumers with
mental health disorders.
The Zepf Center is funded
in part by the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of
Lucas County.
