Gather your friends and family for a fun day out while supporting Jana Marie Foundation's efforts to make mental health education and su***de prevention resources more accessible in our community.

Whether you’re a seasoned road rally participant or new to the game, we’d love to have you join us! On the day of the event (Saturday, November 7), you and your partner/team will check in and receive a packet of clues that will guide you across Central PA roads to multiple secret checkpoints and the top-secret endpoint.

Bonus points and prizes are awarded for the best costumes if you're feeling extra festive!

Forever grateful! Thank you to 100+ Women Who Care for the amazing support of Jana Marie Foundation! 💜💚

Our impact continues to grow! We are thrilled to share that WWC-CC presented $14,200 to our Q3 Impact Award recipient, Jana Marie Foundation.

Jana Marie Foundation works to promote mental well-being, particularly among young people and the communities that support them. Through meaningful conversations, creative expression, education, and community connections, the Foundation works to transform emotional distress into resilience and hope. This generous donation will help support Jana Marie Foundation’s important work to raise awareness, reduce stigma, build connections, and provide resources that promote mental wellness in our community through their programs for children and teens.

Another incredible impact made possible because of our amazing members! Thank you to each of you who continues to show up, give back, and help Women Who Care make a difference. Together, we are changing lives right here in our Centre County communities!

What an amazing Day of Caring! This morning, students and staff from the Student Pathways Center (SCASD) joined us at the office to help with a variety of projects. They jumped right into packing hundreds of self-care bags that will be given to Mind Matters Jr. and Teen Mental Health First Aid participants. The office Chomp Saws were also put to work as students cut out cardboard tools for our CEEL groups this semester. Thanks to everyone's hard work, our team is more prepared for tabling events, after-school programs, and in-school education. Thank you, friends! 💜💚

Thank you to Mount Nittany Middle School for hosting our Wellness Wednesday table during student lunches today! Ashley and Hannah had the opportunity to share dozens of stickers, mindfulness postcards, mental health bracelets, and crisis line magnets with the 6th-8th graders.

Students also created an amazing butterfly with wings decorated with hopeful, handwritten messages. It was heartwarming to see all of the incredibly kind and encouraging notes students shared with their peers.

Su***de prevention month is nearly over, but that certainly doesn't mean the prevention work stops here. Check on the people around you and never feel shame about reaching out for help for yourself. As one of the students wrote today, "You belong here. You can do great things."
