Homecoming – The Cinderella Project
Bright Futures For Youth
Kids are back in school and guess what’s right around the corner? Yep, Homecoming. And the prom is only a few months away (OK, we just wanted to stress you out just a little, it’s more than just a few months). The Cinderella Project — part of Bright Futures for Youth — takes the stress and worry out of formal events with free clothes. The Cinderella Project collects lightly used formal clothes, from dresses to suits and tuxedos, and makes them available at no cost for young people (or little cost for those a bit older). If you have lightly used formal clothes hanging around, please consider donating them to the Cinderella Project — and help a student build a life memory. Click HERE for details.

September is Suicide Prevention Month
National Strategy for Suicide Prevention
The 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention is a bold new 10-year, comprehensive, whole-of-society approach to suicide prevention that provides concrete recommendations for addressing gaps in the suicide prevention field. This coordinated and comprehensive approach to suicide prevention at the national, state, tribal, local, and territorial levels rely upon critical partnerships across the public and private sectors. People with lived experience are critical to the success of this work.
The National Strategy seeks to prevent suicide risk in the first place; identify and support people with increased risk through treatment and crisis intervention; prevent reattempts; promote long-term recovery; and support survivors of suicide loss.
Four strategic directions guide the National Strategy:
- Strategic Direction 1: Community-Based Suicide Prevention
- Strategic Direction 2: Treatment and Crisis Services
- Strategic Direction 3: Surveillance, Quality Improvement, and Research
- Strategic Direction 4: Health Equity in Suicide Prevention

This October 5th, we ride from Nevada City’s Rood Center over two course options ranging from 46 – 70 miles. Each route features ample climbing and lots and lots of amazing dirt. This region is one of California’s hidden gems. For a good cause, and on a great course, there’s no good reason to miss out on Heart of Gold Gravel.
Heart of Gold helps raise more awareness and support for teen mental wellness programs!
