Hamilton High Freshman Fundraiser: Be Nice

This year, the freshman class has chosen be nice. as their homecoming charity. It is an organization that focuses on mental health education, as well as bully and suicide prevention. This initiative helps create a positive cultural change through simple, daily actions. It’s designed to help schools, communities, and businesses better understand mental health and how to help others around us. It teaches people to notice, invite, challenge and empower, or Be “NICE”. How you treat someone has direct links to their actions, thoughts, and feelings. It can make a big difference in their lives.

The reason we chose this organization is that some of us in the freshman class officer staff know others who struggle with mental health, or we ourselves struggle. That’s not something we want anyone to go through, and this organization can change the way we deal with those stigmas and challenges. 

Funds will go towards raising awareness, creating conversations, and decreasing stigma. be nice. also works with the Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan, and funds go towards that as well

We want to challenge you to be nice. with us. Help us raise money to support this organization, and to educate those around you on mental health. Visit benice.org for more information, and to take the pledge. All donations are greatly appreciated. If you or anyone you know struggle with mental health, please don’t be afraid to get help. Thanks so much for giving us a few minutes of your time. Have a great day!
