Let’s come together and Blake the Stigma.
The money will be going to BlakeTheStigma Suicide Awareness Foundation. They are a non-profit and here is their Mission statement.
At "BlakeTheStigma Suicide Awareness Foundation", Our mission is to break the silence surrounding suicide through powerful public speaking, educational outreach, and support for youth. We empower individuals and communities with knowledge to recognize warning signs, foster mental wellness, and take action. By offering sports scholarships, we uplift young lives, promote connection and resilience, and inspire hope through opportunity and purpose.CADCA offers a mid year conference in Washington D.C. this supports youth leadership and provides education on prevention!(future plan; is to be able to provide a scholarship for a group of 5 or more students to attend this program)
Please share this event—we want to remember, honor, and hold space for every single name. 💜🩵
