Relationships are at the heart of everything we do at Peg's, and impact partners like Active Minds are essential to our mission.

For the last 15 years, we’ve been proud to support Alison Malmon and the work of Active Minds as they’ve changed the conversation around mental health for youth and young adults across the country.

Now, through the We Are Enough campaign, we’re proud to help elevate the conversation further, reminding people everywhere: You are enough, just as you are. 💚

The college years are a critical time for mental health. That’s why Peg’s has partnered with Kent State University for more than 20 years to strengthen the systems, workforce, and community support students need to thrive on campus and beyond. 💙🩺

When the world is small and the mission is big, beautiful things happen. 💛

A spontaneous visit from a friend at turned into a soulful conversation, a campus tour, and a chance to go deeper on the passion that drives the work of both foundations.

These bracelets carry a big message. 💚

It's Mental Health Awareness Month, and our team is wearing ENOUGH bracelets. The ENOUGH campaign was founded by Blake Mycoskie with one core belief: our worth is inherent. Not earned. We are enough simply because we exist.

For us, standing alongside Dan Hampu, President and CEO of Burton D. Morgan Foundation isn't a coincidence. Peg and Burt Morgan married, raised a family together, and each built a foundation in Hudson, Ohio—one dedicated to behavioral health and the other to entrepreneurship. ENOUGH is where our two missions finally meet, and this intersection is timely and relevant.

Research shows that 88% of entrepreneurs struggle with at least one mental health issue—and they are 2x more likely to experience depression and 3x more likely to struggle with substance abuse. ENOUGH was built by an entrepreneur who lived this, to challenge the hustle culture that drives it. Its vehicle for change is the impact partners it supports.

ENOUGH donates 100% of its profits to mental health organizations, with a commitment to donate $3M over the next three years—including to Active Minds and NAMI, two of our own longtime partners. Active Minds was our first national grantee and NAMI is the organization that helped our founder's son on his path toward recovery.

For us, wearing the ENOUGH bracelets, connecting with Burton D. Morgan Foundation on a shared purpose, and celebrating two of our impact partners in the process is a full circle moment 25 years in the making.

What does it really take to strengthen the mental health workforce and care ecosystem for young people? Last month's convening of philanthropic funders centered on that single question.

Facilitated by The Bridgespan Group and Dr. Benjamin Miller, alongside The Pew Charitable Trusts, The Tepper Foundation, and Accelerate the Future — this was a genuine, caring, and innovative group with real momentum toward alignment and action.

This is exactly the kind of collaboration that moves the needle.

When one million people show signs of a mental health crisis in a single week while interacting with AI tools, that's a signal.

This morning, Peg's President & CEO Rick Kellar sat down with Dave Chudowsky (WKYC Channel 3 - Cleveland) to talk about what AI means for people in crisis, and what mental health leaders are doing to get ahead of it.

Rick was recently at the OpenAI headquarters in San Francisco as part of the CEO Alliance for Mental Health — 15 of the nation's leading organizations, including NAMI, the American Psychological Association, and the American Psychiatric Association — pressing for real guardrails and real accountability.

The opportunity here is enormous, and the people working to get this right are at the table. Watch the full segment and share it with someone who needs to hear this conversation. 🔗 https://bit.ly/43dGZjB

From warming up with Hudson Kiwanis players to throwing out the first pitch to Kent State Baseball first-baseman Nate Muncy—it was an unforgettable experience. Thank you to Kent State University for prioritizing the mental health of college students and for inviting Peg's to be part of Mental Health Awareness Weekend!

NAMI holds a special place in our hearts and yesterday's NAMI Summit County luncheon reminded us why. Our team was grateful for Dan Gillison's thoughtful words and inspired by Kody Green's powerful keynote.

Congratulations to Marcella Slander on receiving the 2026 Fred Frese Memorial Scholarship, presented by Penny Frese — Fred's wife and Trustee Emerita of the foundation.

The Morgan family's partnership with Kent State University began in 1970. In the early 2000s, Peg's Foundation continued that legacy—first with the Kent State University School of Fashion, then growing into a deep collaboration with the Kent State University College of Nursing's Advanced Practice Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Program.

Nurses are often the first to recognize when someone is struggling, and Peg's is proud to help prepare the advanced practice nurses who lead mental health care.
