Our mission, through the Elly CARES Project, is to keep her spirit alive by spreading kindness and raising awareness. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this event aims to support those living with mental health issues and reduce the surrounding stigma. Register by May 5th to receive a t-shirt!
