NAMI Mercer is set to host its 14th annual Night Out with NAMI on Sunday, November 8, 2015. The event will be held at Stuart Country Day School’s Cor Unum Center in Princeton at 2 p.m. This year’s benefit event will feature Dr. Richard Kogan, who will return for his tenth performance at Night Out.
Dr. Kogan, a psychiatrist and concert pianist, is known for his “Music and the Mind” lecture recitals. On November 8, he will perform the music of Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and examine the influence of Tchaikovsky’s inner turmoil on his creative output.
This year’s Night Out with NAMI honors Carol A. Kivler as the 2015 Pillar Award recipient. The Pillar Award recognizes individuals who have made an extraordinary, long-term contribution to the mission of NAMI Mercer and the people it serves.
A silent auction will begin at 2 p.m. and the benefit concert will start at 3 p.m. The event will also feature a cocktail reception, sit-down dinner and live auction.
Tickets for the concert are $50 per person; tickets for the concert, cocktails and dinner are $150 per person. Supporters who join Patron Society 2015 with a minimum contribution of $500 before the event will receive complimentary tickets, the number of tickets determined by donation level. Night Out with NAMI sponsorships also are available.
