WMU-GR SOTA for Live.Laugh.Love.

The Student Occupational Therapy Association (SOTA) of Western Michigan University- Grand Rapids is raising money to benefit the Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan. The Mental Health Foundation will use these funds to provide community education and help stomp the stigma associated with mental illness.

We are a student based, non-profit organization that serves to promote professional development through leadership opportunities, community education, networking, social activities, volunteer activities and fundraising. We are proud to serve our community, our profession and our University.

We have partnered with the Mental Health Foundation (downtown GR location) for the last six years to promote awareness of mental illness, decrease stigma, and eliminate bullying. In the past, we have put on a 5k to raise proceeds for the Mental Health Foundation`s Live, Laugh, Love and "be nice." programs. This year we have decided to mix it up and create a Zumbathon event on October 22, 2016, to encourage more participants and increase awareness.  The event will be held at the Mary Free Bed YMCA from 2-4pm. If you would like to attend, please contact Caitlin Muir at [email editado]. If you are not able to attend this event, please consider donating here.
