Why this matters

Kids and teens are facing rising stress and anxiety. Prevention works best when we teach coping skills early and surround young people with informed adults. Funds raised at the Gala deliver practical, age-appropriate resources and training that build lifelong skills in classrooms and communities nationwide.
