This event is held to honour the life and memory of Chad Evans, who we tragically lost on August 13, 2023 to suicide. Our goal is to raise awareness of men's mental health issues, start conversations for so many men who suffer in silence, and spread awareness of the groups that support them. HeadsUpGuys, a program of UBC is the online platform providing life saving resources and education to help our men battle depression and suicidal thoughts. It empowers them to begin to heal, all while maintaining their anonymity. In our first year, 2024, we raised $7,680.53 to support the HeadsUpGuys mission. Lets see if we can beat that number this year*, helping them to continue their important work. We encourage anyone reading this to visit the website at headupguys.org to see everything they offer, and please spread their name as much as you can.
(*So far this year, the Chad's Day for Change pub fundraiser night/silent auction raised $4,149.55 that Chad's Day will use to make a donation to HeadsUpGuys.)
