NEW YORK—The Hope for Depression Research Foundation’s (HDRF) 6th Annual Week of Hope in Southampton, NY,  held from July 25 to Aug. 4, has concluded. Revo Sunglasses sponsored and participated this year in the annual event, which raises awareness and funds for mental health research. The week concluded with the 9th annual Race of Hope to Defeat Depression, a 5k run or walk around Lake Agawam in Southampton, Revo said. This year’s celebrity Grand Marshal was Stacey Griffith, founding senior master instructor at SoulCycle, author and mental health advocate.

In addition to sponsoring the Week of Hope in Southampton, where stores displayed yellow flags to raise mental health awareness, Revo also engaged its customers at its flagship location in New York City, where, from July 29 through Aug. 4, a percentage of all sales was donated to HDRF. Revo displayed the same yellow flags used in Southampton and distributed HDRF brochures to customers.

“We are thrilled to partner with HDRF for the Week of Hope," said Cliff Robinson, CEO of Revo. "Mental health is a critical issue that affects millions of people worldwide, and HDRF’s dedication to groundbreaking research is truly inspiring. At Revo, we believe in the power of innovation and community, and we are proud to support HDRF’s efforts to transform the mental health landscape.”

 
 
“Now more than ever we need to find new treatments for depression and anxiety, as one-third of Americans suffer from these debilitating diseases," said HDRF founder & chair Audrey Gruss. "We are excited to begin this new partnership with Revo, a company that believes in and understands the importance of mental health research and awareness.”
