As a business, team, or individual, you can fund raise to assure that persons who are managing their behavioral health or with physical or developmental challenges have the support and encouragement they need to realize their personal potential. It’s easy to do! Set a goal for yourself or your running/strolling mates. For every $50 individually raised, your name will be entered for a fun prize!

The top individual fundraiser who raises at least an additional $250 will be invited to attend a Creative Juices class of their choice; top team that raises at least $1,000 will receive a Creative Juices class for up to 10 people; top business (employees run under the business name) will receive a plaque created by We Care Arts participants, suitable for display, and a shout out on social media and our web site! 

In addition to the 5k being on August 5th don't forget about our fun filled Arts and Drafts event that evening we truly hope to see you there!

We also have some awesome Tattoo Artists who will be ready to welcome you in to the "Ink Club". There will be four Ink Masters Tattoo Artists at the event:  Ryan Hadley, Kyle Dunbar, Dave Clarke and Robby Rippoll. 

Do you enjoy watching their TV show? This will be the perfect oppurtunity to come meet them and get a tattoo from them!

Please join us in giving a big thank you to major sponsors who donated their time and money to our event so we can all come together to make a difference in our community. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH:

As always please feel free to share our events on your news feed on Facebook,Twitter and Instagram. Thank you so much for all of your support! None of this could be possible without all you have done!

National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month

Please join us in celebrating National Minority Mental Health Awareness this month. We Care Arts encourages all of you to reach out to individuals in our community to provide equal access to treatment and services to individuals no matter their culture, background, race, gender, or identity. During National Minority Mental Health Month, help raise awareness in your organization or community. Encourage your family, friends, loved ones and clients to learn more about improving mental health and illness.Mental illness affects one in five adults and one in 10 children in America, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Furthermore, mental illness is a leading cause of disability, yet nearly two-thirds of people with a diagnosable mental illness do not seek treatment, and racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. are even less likely to get help, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Mental health conditions do not discriminate based on race, color, gender or identity. Anyone can experience the challenges of mental illness regardless of their background. However, background and identity can make access to mental health treatment much more difficult. National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month was established in 2008 to start changing this.Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. Taking on the challenges of mental health conditions, health coverage and the stigma of mental illness requires all of us. In many communities, these problems are increased by less access to care, cultural stigma and lower quality care.

It's time to do your part! Help us spread the word by showing  that you're #IntoMentalHealth or by visiting the NAMI website to learn how to get involved. https://www.nami.org/Blogs/NAMI-Blog/July-2017/Getting-Involved-with-Minority-Mental-Health
