With the inauguration of the FLICKERS North Country Film Festival, The BALSAMS partnership will encourage cultural tourism and support area businesses, bringing added profit to New Hampshire’s Grand Adventure and Grand Resorts Programs and strengthening ties with Quebec.
Most importantly, the Brattleboro Retreat, as one of the area’s finest mental health and addiction treatment facilities, will receive special recognition and financial reward from the festival.
A black-tie gala event will be held on Saturday, October 1 to benefit the Brattleboro Retreat, a mental health and addiction treatment center that provides a wide array of services for children and adults. Its newest program for uniformed service professionals is designed for police, firefighters, correctional officers, EMTs and military personnel who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder as a consequence of their duty. The Retreat works with patients from Hollywood, CA to Hallowell, ME.
