August 2024

It's truly wonderful to have the support of so many who know how important CKG’s work is. I am so energized by the collective passion to SpeakUp. There is such beauty in the conversations I have with so many individuals and diverse organizations. It's inspiring to see a shared belief in the importance of mental health across such a wide array of perspectives. These conversations bring together unique insights and highlight the mutual understanding that we must all do our part to bring light, hope, and worth to many who struggle. This collective passion and commitment not only help CKG’s awesome initiatives but also foster a more compassionate and supportive world. Thank you for being a part of it.

Cameron created the SpeakUp5k for this exact purpose. To bring people together, without judgement, putting one foot in front of the other towards a better day. She desperately wanted to make sure no one felt alone and that they are worthy of love, support, and belonging. We are grateful for the many community leaders who have come in their own unique ways to share Cameron’s message and help CKG’s impact. It is so cool to see how different industries come together for common good. Richmond Raceway is hosting On Track for Mental Health Track Walk Sunday August 11th at 9:30 am. What a fun way to celebrate mental health and normalize the conversation! You can learn more about the day, the awesome collaboration with Richmond Raceway and how you can be part of a matching gift from a generous donor here.

It is inspiring to see the myriad of creative and enjoyable ways people and organizations come together to support the mission of CKG. The energy and enthusiasm for CKG fills our hearts and fuels us to carry out this critical work. These efforts not only raise essential funds but also build a stronger community around a common cause. It's a beautiful reminder that when we blend creativity with purpose, we can achieve remarkable things and have fun along the way.
