This year’s Reinventing Delaware winner is revolutionizing mental health care for adults with disabilities—a population disproportionately affected by mental health challenges. Mental health struggles impact millions, but adults with disabilities face mental distress at a rate 4.6 times higher than those without disabilities. Despite this, access to mental health care often remains limited, with services rarely tailored to their unique needs. Enter Toivoa, the 2024 Reinventing Delaware winner, championed by Laura Randa. Toivoa is breaking barriers with its mission to provide accessible, high-quality mental health care designed specifically for individuals with disabilities.

This year, PDFF is proud to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Reinventing Delaware! 🌟 Originally envisioned as a tribute to Delaware's visionary former Governor Pete du Pont, Reinventing Delaware unites leaders, entrepreneurs, and community members with a shared mission: to spark ideas that create jobs, drive economic growth, and enhance the quality of life across our state. Scott Malfitano, Vice President of Corporation Service Company (CSC) and founder of the Reinventing Delaware event, recently announced his decision to step down from the Pete du Pont Freedom Foundation (PDFF) board after 20 years of dedicated service. While Scott's transition reflects a new chapter, Reinventing Delaware remains as strong and impactful as ever, continuing its mission to foster innovative ideas that shape Delaware's future. To learn more about the full story behind Reinventing Delaware, read our latest blog at https://hubs.la/Q02XKNln0 Sponsorship opportunities for the 10th Anniversary Reinventing Delaware Dinner and the 2025 program are also available.
