Robinson helps raise mental health awareness

Grant Halliburton Foundation hosted its 16th annual Beacon of Hope Community Luncheon on March 25 at the Omni Dallas Hotel. Nearly 600 guests gathered in support of the Foundation’s mission, helping to raise $300,000 for youth mental health and suicide prevention programs across North Texas. Eric Nadel, Texas Rangers Radio Broadcaster, served as the moderator and introduced a video that shared Drew Robinson’s story. In 2020, Robinson (pictured above on the left), then a Major League Baseball player, miraculously survived a suicide attempt, resulting in a new-found purpose of helping others and destigmatizing mental health. Robinson is dedicated to sharing his journey and showcasing vulnerability to prevent suicide and promote mental health care. Learn more  at GrantHalliburton.org. — Juliette Coulter
