A special THANK YOU to Ashley Miller, Plains Area Mental Health Crisis Services Program Director, and Kayla Mayer, Cherokee County Public Health Manager, for taking time out of their Saturday morning to join us and share an update on both past and future donations made possible through this tournament💜🩵
Ashley shared how previous funds were used to help purchase a reliable vehicle for Crisis Services, allowing their team to better serve Cherokee County and surrounding communities through mobile crisis and stabilization services.
Kayla shared how this year’s funds will continue that impact through several important initiatives:
💜 CredibleMind Mental Health Website
Funds will help launch CredibleMind, a mental health website that will be available to everyone in our community. It will provide information, tools, and resources to help individuals better understand what they may be experiencing, determine what level of support may be appropriate, and connect them with local resources.
🩵 Mental Health Education in Our Schools
Through the Cherokee County Su***de Prevention Coalition, funds will support the printing of educational materials needed to develop a mental health curriculum for our local schools. The goal is to give young people the knowledge and skills to better understand mental health, recognize when they or someone else may be struggling, know how to seek help, and build healthy coping skills and support systems.
💜 Supporting Families After Su***de Loss
Funds will also support community resilience and families following a su***de loss through grief support baskets, local resources, and continued connection and support during an incredibly difficult time.
🩵 Middle School Hygiene Kits
I also shared one additional project we will be supporting—hygiene kits for both boys and girls in middle school in Cherokee and Marcus. Something simple that can help kids feel a little more comfortable and confident during what can already be a tough transition.
THIS is why we do this tournament. Every golfer, sponsor, donor, volunteer, silent auction bidder, and supporter helps make these projects possible.
The money raised stays focused on mental health, su***de prevention, education, crisis services, and supporting people right here in our communities🩵💜
