I've had the privilege of being a community board member with Band Together NC for a few years now. The way Thorne Daubenspeck and the crew bring people together to raise money that benefits nonprofits in the Triangle, and therefore communities in the Triangle, is truly special. This year was no different. We raised money and awareness for mental health, which is timely considering that today is World Mental Health Day. I won't give you empty platitudes about checking in on your strong friend. Instead, I ask that you check in with yourself. - How are you doing? - Is there something you'd like to ask for help with? - Is there someone who may need your help but is unable to ask? And show up in the best way you can. I'm rooting for you.

WE DID IT! We're still buzzing from the incredible weekend we just had! Thanks to your generosity, we raised $1,019,130 for mental healthcare in the Triangle, which will directly impact 11,021 people! A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers, food and beverage vendors, artists, musicians, impact partners, and especially YOU for showing up and making this possible. We are so grateful. But the work doesn’t end here. Let’s keep the conversation going—continue showing up, speaking out, and advocating for mental health. Remember, vulnerability is our greatest strength and connection ??

What a wonderful event Saturday night. RedHat was rocking. Thanks to all that made the event possible! A special thanks to Band Together NC and United Way of the Greater Triangle for including Healing Transitions in this year's event! #MentalHealth #Recovery

Over the past two weeks, some of our Workforce members have earned additional income outside of our City of Raleigh Municipal Government Beautification Contract, assisting with setup at El Pueblo, Inc.'s Fiesta del Pueblo celebration and teardown at Band Together NC's Mighty Giveback 2024. Their strong work ethic and desire to stay busy received only positive feedback! Let these men be a powerful reminder of the strength and goodness within the unhoused community, breaking any misconceptions. I’m incredibly proud to be part of this program and to work alongside them.

Always a joy to support Band Together NC alongside United Way of the Greater Triangle. This year over $1 Million was raised for local organizations that work in mental health. The Black Pumas slayed it at the newly *saved* Red Hat Amphitheater and a slew of amazing local folks contributed to the VIP fundraiser. Cheers to the IMPACT that is possible when a community comes together! Thorne Daubenspeck #raleigh #bandtogether
