The mission of Friends of Advantage (FOA) is to enhance the lives of people served by Advantage Behavioral
Health Systems by expanding knowledge and resources beyond those provided by families, government, grants,
or insurance. FOA is more than a recipient of funds; we actively seek to host events, approach new donors, build
membership and, most importantly, connect those in need with those who have a passion to help.
