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

Dr. Suite, renowned as the psychologist to star athletes—from the New York Knicks and Jets to the iconic Rockettes—lent her expertise to the evening. However, the true power of the event lay in how the Suites are leveraging their non-profit status to fundraise for a critical cause: providing mental health support to young athletes who can't afford it.

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

The Legends Dinner for Mental Health served as a powerful reminder that mental health matters for everyone, including our young athletes. By supporting organizations like Full Circle Life, we can ensure that the next generation of sports stars has the mental health resources they need to thrive both on and off the field.


Remember, mental health is just as important as physical health in athletics. Let's work together to keep our young athletes in the game!

Organizations Making a Difference Some of my favorite nonprofits doing incredible work right here in our backyard: 914Cares , Westchester Land Trust , Hope's Door , The Pantry , Community Center NW, and the Suzanne Grant Foundation . Each one addresses critical needs, from food insecurity and domestic violence support to land conservation and community programming. How We Give Back Together After every sale, I make a donation in my client's name to an organization of their choice. It's a simple gesture that creates real impact. But more importantly, it introduces people to the vital work happening in their new community. When you learn about your neighbors' needs and the organizations serving them, you don't just move to a place—you become part of it. This Holiday Season: Let's Hit the Give Back Program Hard The holidays are the perfect time to amplify our impact. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply wanting to make a difference, let's support these organizations together. A percentage of my profits goes directly back into the community, and I'm challenging myself—and you—to give even more this season. Keep Showing Up Giving back isn't a one-time event. It's about consistently showing up for your community, learning what's happening in your own backyard, and helping your neighbors assimilate and thrive. When we all contribute, even in small ways, we create stronger, more connected neighborhoods. Ready to make a difference? Reach out to learn more about the give back program, or pick your favorite local organization and support them today.

The holiday season is magical, but let's be honest—crafting with kids can sometimes feel more stressful than festive. Between the glue spills, the scissors mishaps, and the inevitable meltdowns, holiday activities don't always go as planned.

As a real estate agent who's helped dozens of New York City families relocate to upstate properties over the past few years, I've witnessed a transformation that goes far beyond real estate transactions.
