Join us at the Detroit Opera House on June 14th, 2012 for an evening of art, entertainment, and education to raise awareness about eating disorders in everyday life. Enjoy strolling appetizers and cocktails to the live music of esteemed jazz musician, Marcus Belgrave, while exploring the gallery of specially curated local submissions to be sold in silent auction. Desert and dancing conclude the evening.
Eating disorders are more common than they appear. By learning about them and the stories of those who struggle, others may learn that they in fact present signs of “disordered eating.” Hopefully by breaking the barrier that separates those with eating disorders, the real issues of food and body image that plague the masses will be able to be discussed freely and therefore, slowly healed.
