What is the Walk for Mental Health?
Walk for Mental Health is a community-centered event to raise awareness for youth mental health. We have, and will continue to support Foundry Kelowna.
Why should you join?
Youth mental health has been decreasing over the past few years. Following the pandemic, it has been increasingly difficult for youth to navigate social life, technology, and education. Due to the high population of high schools, many students can fall under the radar and may lack the resources available to them through their school. That is why it is necessary to direct youth to other resources they can access in their community.
In the past 2 years...
Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, supported, and shared our event in 2023 and 2024! We wouldn't be here doing this again without the support of everyone these past years.
At the 2023 Walk for Mental Health, we raised $6,438.67 for Foundry Kelowna. In 2024, we raised $13, 806.29, bringing our combined total to over $20,000 for youth mental health! We are so grateful to have such a remarkable organization to donate to.
Each year, we include a variety of entertainment and activities such as inflatables, BARK Dogs, food trucks, music, face painting, community vendors, Staff vs. Students volleyball, games, and more! As well, participants are abe to hear from a special guest speaker on various mental health-related topics.
