<p>We encourage you to bring your families, community members, fans, and friends to this very important event on May 6<sup>th. .</sup>In addition to the scrimmages, we will also have <strong>mindfulness activities </strong>for all ages and a <strong>“Wellness Resource Area” </strong>which will feature local agencies and resources on site who will provide additional information on mental health, suicide awareness & prevention, substance abuse, eating disorders, and overall wellness. </p>
<p>This is a unique opportunity to strengthen the mental health approach to our corridor athletic programs.

With community sponsorships, we can create an exciting event for all of our youth, providing engaging speakers for young athletes, parents and students and custom Strike out the Stigma game jerseys. </p>
<p>Through information and conversation, we CAN flip the script and “Strike Out the Stigma”. We look forward to partnering with you to help <strong><em>Strike out the Stigma.</em></strong></p>
