Hi everyone!
I'm Jake, and I'm raising funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association as part of Beta Theta Pi's "Drop The Puck" fundraiser! Because this is such an important cause, I've been making a personal donation of $1,000 for each of my past two years with DTP, and I'm donating another $1,000 this year as well!
Drop the Puck is an annual hockey game at UBC, which raises money to support the Canadian Mental Health Association's Vancouver- Fraser branch. Since 2019, DTP has raised just shy of $100,000. In last year's Drop The Puck alone we raised over $50,000.
By supporting this cause, you are helping others get assistance for their mental health issues. 1 in 3 Canadians will experience mental illness in their lifetime. However because it is a hard topic to talk about, many people feel alone with their problems. By reducing the stigma around mental health issues, we can make it easier for people to reach out for help when they need it. Let's work together to improve mental health! I encourage you to donate, and to spread awareness of this fundraiser. You can also support our initiative by coming to see our high-energy hockey game on January 19th, we hope to see you there. Thank you for your help, it makes a difference!
Jake
