We're incredibly grateful to everyone who supported SOAR during Mental Health Awareness Month through our partnership with Jan's Bar, Jenifer Street Market, and Frank Beverage Company.

Together, we raised $2,325 through the Meat Raffle and a month-long drink special (715 sold!!) to support SOAR's community-based mental health and peer respite services.

Thank you to our partners, everyone who donated prizes, and every person who participated, purchased a paddle, or showed their support throughout the month.

Community care happens when people show up for one another, and we're grateful to be part of a community that does exactly that.
