Hilinski's Hope Foundation

Hilinski’s Hope Foundation is a non-profit organization formed to promote awareness and education of mental health and wellness for student athletes. The Foundation’s mission is to educate, advocate, and eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness, while funding programs that provide student-athletes with the tools and resources that support their mental health and wellness.

This organization was founded by Tyler Hilinski's (Washington State University Football player) family following his death by suicide in 2018. H3H helps colleges and universities save lives, eliminate stigma, and scale mental wellness programs for student-athletes. H3H does this by sharing Tyler’s story, connecting students with mental health resources, and assisting universities to institutionalize best practices. 

H3H envisions a world where mental health is supported in parity with physical health and equally prioritized by universities as connected to athletic performance.
