Rebecca Lynn Cutler
Rebecca Lynn Cutler — beautiful, gifted, talented, funny, best friend to so many, wonderful daughter, sister and aunt who loved her family, enjoyed a good time and lived with depression and bipolar disorder.
The Rebecca Lynn Cutler Legacy of Life Foundation was established in 2005 in celebration of the life of journalist Rebecca Lynn Cutler, after she lost her fight with depression and bipolar disorder at age 30. Rebecca’s family and friends wanted to continue Rebecca’s personal mission to help others receive the treatment and support that they need.
The Rebecca's Dream annual Gala has raised over $1,000,000 since its establishment in 2005 and enabled us to reach over 15,000 people directly, as well as thousands more who have visited the Rebecca’s Dream websites. The benefit often honors an individual, who, in the public arena, has actively spoken out about depression or bipolar disorder—in order to educate, raise awareness, eliminate stigma, and foster compassionate understanding. The 2008 benefit honored Illinois’ now-Governor Pat Quinn with the Rebecca's Dream Legacy of Life Award . Past honorees include Academy Award-winning actress Patty Duke and Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy of Rhode Island. The 2009 Legacy of Life Award was awarded to Paige Hemmis of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
