When you consulted your English language dictionary, what did it tell you about the noun mention and the verb mention? What did you not understand about the example sentences? – P. E. Dant Reinstate Monica Jul 24 '17 at 22:55

Depends what you want to say. Can you include what you want the meaning to be? – Katrina Brock Jul 25 '17 at 2:01

The sentence is perfectly fine. As you can see from this Cambridge Dictionaries Online entry, "mention" can be used as a noun (as well as a verb):
mention noun
a short remark or written statement
an occasion when something or someone is mentioned
an occasion when a person is publicly praised for having done something, such as their job, extremely well
