5th Annual Mary Brougher Memorial Golf Outing

Mary Brougher served as the President of Bender Consulting Services, Inc. and as a Board Director for Bender Leadership Academy. She was a founding team member of the original volunteer program and was instrumental in early curriculum development and program oversight.

Mary dedicated her life to bringing down barriers and eradicated stigma for people with disabilities. As a woman living with mental health disability, Mary was a strong advocate for others to talk about mental health and take action to educate others about mental health disabilities.

“We must create a world where mental fitness conversations are as commonplace as those about nutrition and exercise. It is only by sharing the message that both mental and physical fitness are a part of quality of life that we can break down stigma.”
