Youth resources & Stories

Raise awareness and donations in your community to help educate, equip, and empower young people, their parents, and their support network with the mental health knowledge they need to thrive. Our toolkit makes everything from invitations and marketing to day-of-set-up easy.

You Make a Difference

A Jack.org fundraising event is a great way to unite your community around a shared cause and spark meaningful conversations about mental health.

We encourage you to fundraise your way—get creative! If you can dream it, you can do it. Pick an activity like running or walking to work daily, a dance-a-thon, or comedy night. The options are limitless!

Our tool kit will share best practices for invitations and more to make the event super easy to do.

Your page comes with a basic template that you can fill out, but we encourage you to make it your own!

Testimonials

Hear from our participants in past events

To mark Brain Health Month and the International Day of Happiness, we teamed up with Jack.org to host Giggles for Good—a comedy night supporting youth mental health.


What started as a class project turned into something much more meaningful. With Jack.org’s mission driving us, we raised over $2,400 and brought people together for a night of laughs and community.
