Legends Dinner for Mental Health: Stars Shine Light on Athlete Mental Health
In a glittering evening of compassion and awareness, the "Legends Dinner for Mental Health" brought together stars from various fields to share their personal journeys with mental health. At the heart of this impactful event were the Suites, founders and stewards of Full Circle Life, an organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of young athletes.
Star Power Meets Mental Health Advocacy
A Concerning Trend
The dinner highlighted a startling statistic: by the time students reach 9th grade, 10% of boys and 12% of girls no longer identify with a sport. This disengagement from athletics can have far-reaching consequences on youth mental and physical health. Full Circle Life is on a mission to change this trend, ensuring that young athletes have the support they need to continue their sporting journeys.
The Legends Dinner was more than just a fundraiser; it was a celebration of resilience and a call to action. Attendees were treated to:
Heartfelt speeches from stars about their personal mental health experiences
Insights into the work of Full Circle Life
A chance to contribute to a cause that's changing young lives
