Ben's Bright Horizons

10/10/2026

The people who know what it’s like to struggle with mental health have something essential to teach us.

This World Mental Health Day, the theme is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.” It’s a reminder to listen closely and let those experiences help shape the support we provide.

At Ben’s Bright Horizons, we honor Ben’s memory by helping young adults access mental health and wellness support. Each person brings their own experiences, challenges and hopes. Their perspective matters.

As we look ahead, a question worth asking is: Are we giving young adults a meaningful voice in the programs intended to help them?

September is National Su***de Prevention Month.

Ben’s Bright Horizons was created to help young adults get the support, tools and resources they need to navigate life’s challenges. We want them to know that asking for help is a sign of strength—and that they never have to struggle alone.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988. Help and hope are available 24/7.

$250,000. TWO DAYS. ONE INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY. 💙

We are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this weekend.

In just two days, together we raised $250,000 for Ben’s Bright Horizons.

Every ticket purchased, auction bid, donation, sponsorship and person who volunteered helped make this possible. But even more meaningful is what those dollars represent — the opportunity to help more young adults get access to the mental health and wellness support they need.

What started from the unimaginable loss of Ben continues to grow into something bigger than we ever imagined.

And we’re not stopping here. We are ready to take Ben’s Bright Horizons to the next level — reaching more young adults, building more partnerships and expanding the impact.

So many of you have asked, “How can I get involved?” We’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks. If you are serious about helping us grow this mission, please reach out. We’d love to hear from you.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 💙
