THE HISTORY:
#ProjectPlaid launched in 2019 after the tragic loss of Amelia Durocher to suicide. Taking quick action with a resolve to not let this happen to other kids and families, Amelia’s mom Shanta created #ProjectPlaid. It not only helped her cope, it quickly became a connection for those who were struggling and it’s now a mental health movement.
In under two years, #Project Plaid has raised over $20,000 for Pathstone. But as Shanta says, we are not done yet.
THE GOAL:
To elevate suicide prevention, engage in conversation, and raise funds to support mental health programs at Pathstone.
And this year, thanks to a partnership with Meridian, we are setting a $30,000 fundraising goal.
