Today is a gentle reminder to connect, listen, and let the people in our lives know they’re not alone. Mental health matters, and everyone deserves compassion, support, and understanding.

Take a moment to check in on someone today, send a message, make a call, or simply ask, “How are you really doing?” A small act of kindness can make a meaningful difference.

We’re proud to support the Arthur Miller Foundation and its work to make theater education more accessible to public school students. 🎭

Through educator support, classroom resources, and opportunities for students to experience and perform live theater, the Foundation helps young people build creativity, confidence, and collaboration skills.

We’re happy to support organizations that create meaningful opportunities for students to discover the power of the arts. We love seeing that impact come to life in performances like this one!

The need for special education teachers continues to grow, with schools across the country facing significant staffing shortages.

The Whelan Foundation is committed to strengthening the special education teacher pipeline by supporting students pursuing careers in special education through scholarships, while also providing loan relief to teachers already making a difference in the classroom.

Supporting educators means supporting the students who depend on them.
