In the bustling world of snack companies and corporate partnerships, there's a story behind every initiative that goes beyond profit margins and marketing strategies. Daily Crunch's collaboration with The Support Network is one such story—a tale of personal connection, resilience, and unwavering dedication to a cause close to the heart.
Meet Diane, Daily Crunch's co-founder. Her journey is both heartbreaking and inspiring. She's a mother who faced the unimaginable loss of her son, George, to mental illness. Instead of allowing grief to consume her, Diane channeled her pain into purpose. Determined to honor George's memory and make a difference in the world, she dedicated herself to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and to create a community.
Diane's story touched the hearts of the team at Daily Crunch. They saw in her not just a grieving mother, but a beacon of hope and resilience—a reminder of the importance of supporting mental health awareness. In Diane's story, they found a call to action.
It's not just about selling snacks for Daily Crunch; it's about making a tangible difference in people's lives. That's why they made a commitment to donate a portion of their proceeds to The Support Network, an organization dedicated to advocating for mental health awareness on college campuses.
College can be a turbulent time—a period of transition, growth, and self-discovery. But for many students, it's also a time of immense pressure and stress. The Support Network recognizes this and provides a lifeline for those who may be struggling. Their resources, support groups, and advocacy efforts aim to create a campus environment where mental health is prioritized and stigma is shattered.
Daily Crunch believes in the power of community and the importance of standing together in support of those who need it most. Through their partnership with The Support Network, they're not just donating money; they're extending a hand of solidarity to students across the country who may be grappling with their mental health.
If you're reading this, you're part of that community too. Daily Crunch invites you to join them in their mission. Visit The Support Network's website, learn about their initiatives, and consider bringing their invaluable resources to your own campus community. Together, we can create a culture of acceptance, understanding, and support for mental health.
This month is especially important to The Support Network, as May is Mental Health Awareness month. On May 14th, at the University of Michigan, The Support Network (TSN) is hosting a panel of students, alumni, and university staff to share their stories, explore current student mental health needs, and discuss how they can address them together. It’ll be a powerful event, and they would love to see you there.
Those who attend will get an inside look at the state of campus mental health and hear directly from students who have volunteered to share their experiences with peer support.
In Diane's story, in Daily Crunch's commitment, and in your own actions, there lies the potential to make a profound difference in the lives of others. Let's come together, snack by snack, conversation by conversation, to build a world where mental health is not just acknowledged but embraced with compassion and empathy.
Sincerely,
The Daily Crunch Team
