It’s the third week of blogging and we’ve finally begun to put things into motion and we couldn't be more excited about it. We started sending out e-mails and even getting a few responses.Our next step is to reach out to some facilities and therapist for their advice and hopefully, assistance. So far, we’ve contacted our lifesavers club as well as our community service club. We also figured out we want to put our event on in May because it is Mental health awareness month. We are still trying to work out fundraisers and plan to put them on as soon as we possibly can. We've decided on our ideal location for our event( a local park), but we're still finding the cost and schedule. With how much progress we've had this week, I'm excited to see what will happen next.

Introduction-Week OneHello! I'm Jackie and I attend Civic Memorial High School. I am working on this amazing project, "Project Auxilium" with two of my friends as well. We decided to do this project together because we all have a passion for raising awareness for mental health because we all have family members who suffer or have suffered from some form of mental illness. We also noticed that many of our friends who have problems have no clue what they are, and believe that its normal. Our goal is to raise awareness for mental health, but we are not exactly sure what we event we plan to put on, potentially a mental health fair, a five k/ fun run or picnic. In order to put on this event, we plan to do many fundraisers through our school and community, like penny wars, selling t-shirts and whatever else that seems to benefit us. My fear is that we may not be successful in advertising and have little turn out to our event, but I believe that we will be able to do well. To combat this fear, we are going start and manage a few social media pages(most likely an Instagram page and Twitter) to spread awareness as well. Our dream would be to be able to make our event annual and not just a one time project. I'm very excited to be able to work with an amazing team to make a big difference in our small town. |
