What we've done
What we've done
As a chapter, we have strived to raise money and improve mental health awareness in our community. We started off the year by donating to and participating in the Out of Darkness Walk to promote suicide prevention. We even raised $2,735 as a school! We also had a bracelet sale to raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and ended up raising over $500. Lastly, we wrote up statements and presented them to the Board of Education to advocate for increasing the mental health resources in Howard County. This is just the beginning! We are planning on doing so much in the upcoming months.
