Petals & Paws

This event was hosted at Kissena Park in Queens, NY. The Project Capybara team put together mini bouquets of flowers and handed them out to community members in the park's vicinity. In exchange for these kindness bouquets, we requested people to create cards addressing those who may be facing mental health adversities. We were able to gather around 50 cards and donated them to the Ronald McDonald House of Charities.

Mental Health Awareness Month Challenge

For the month of May - Mental Health Awareness Month - Project Capybara decided to host a giveaway challenge that also consisted of various challenges dedicated to spreading positivity. We posted weekly activities to complete and had over 30+ participants send us photographic evidence of them completing tasks such as, writing appreciation cards to teachers, journaling about their day, and recycling. The final task was a short video that related to the participants' personal mental health journey. The winner was determined based on a point system and recieved a digital camera for their hard work. Thank you to everyone who took part in this!
