Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, will be speaking at a charity event at the Heathman Lodge on June 17 in Vancouver.
Held from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Children’s Center Benefit Luncheon is raising money to help children needing mental health services. This is Patrick Kennedy’s only Northwest appearance this year, according to a Children’s Center press release.
Kennedy is a former member of the U.S. Representative for Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District and a longtime advocate for mental health and addiction awareness services. His book, “A Common Struggle: A Personal Journey Through the Past and Future of Mental Illness and Addiction” will be available for purchase at the lunch. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Children’s Center. Kennedy will be signing books from 1 to 1:45 p.m.
