BMO Bank of Montreal’s A Different Stage of Mind (DSOM) is one of the Mental Health Foundation‘s signature fundraisers. It invites brave community leaders to take the stage in support of Nova Scotians living with mental illness. These community leaders become our STARS and leading up to the big night, give their time and talent to prepare a showstopping performance and fund-raise $50,000 for mental health.

The Mental Health Foundation encourages guests, supporters and FANS to sponsor their favourite star’s fundraising goal online. They can make a donation, and buy tickets or tables under their name. Over the course of 15 years, DSOM has raised nearly 3 million dollars which in turn has been reinvested into communities across the provinces for mental health programs and support services.

BMO Bank of Montreal’s A Different Stage of Mind invites community leaders and local celebrities to step out of their comfort zone and give back to mental health in a big way. The event shines a spotlight on mental illness and illuminate the lives of the one in five Nova Scotians who live with mental illness.
