💗 A Promise Made. A Legacy Continued. A Conversation That Matters. 💗

Sitting on the porch after losing my brother Keith to suicide, I made a quiet vow:

His story wouldn’t end with silence.

What started with one author’s kindness has grown into a powerful movement, one that sparks connection, fuels awareness, and reminds us that no one should struggle alone.

Thirteen Years Later, This Event is More Than a Tribute.

It’s a Lifeline.

With deepest gratitude,


Denise Milano Sprung

Information about the Keith Milano Memorial Fund:

The Keith Milano Memorial Fund was established to help raise awareness about the devastating and deadly disease that is mental illness. Keith’s spirit and laughter are kept alive through our efforts to increase awareness about mental illness and to raise money for education and imperative research. Keith often struggled with society’s perception of mental illness. Our hope is that by having the strength to say that Keith was “Bipolar” we can strip away the stigma and help others to be more open about their disease.
