Mental health challenges affect 1 in 5 adults, yet stigma prevents many from seeking help. Through sports and community, we're creating conversations that save lives.
RamsRise is more than our events—it's a platform to normalize mental health discussions, celebrate vulnerability as strength, and ensure everyone knows they're not alone.
Together, we rise above the silence.
Half of all mental health conditions begin by age 14, and 75% develop by age 24. Yet many children and teens suffer in silence, unsure how to express what they're feeling or afraid of judgment from peers.
That's millions of young people navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other challenges—often without adequate support.
Early intervention is critical, yet barriers like stigma, lack of resources, and limited awareness prevent many from getting help.
Mental health challenges can affect concentration, attendance, and academic performance
Untreated conditions can hinder the development of healthy relationships and social skills
Early mental health issues can persist into adulthood if not addressed properly
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for ages 10-14 and the 3rd for ages 15-24
By supporting RamsRise, you're helping create programs and resources specifically designed for young people— teaching them it's okay to not be okay, showing them where to find help, and building a community that prioritizes mental wellness for all ages.
Every child deserves support. Every teen deserves hope.
All proceeds from RamsRise events support the vital work of Kyle's Cares Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
Kyle's Cares Foundation was created to honor the memory of Kyle and to help others facing mental health challenges. The foundation believes that no one should suffer in silence, and that every person deserves access to mental health support and resources.
Providing awareness programs in schools and communities
Funding counseling services and crisis intervention programs

Events that break stigma and foster open conversations
When you register for RamsRise events, sponsor our tournaments, or make a donation, proceeds go to Kyle's Cares Foundation and other local charities focused on mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Your support helps them:
Together, we're building a community where mental health matters and help is always available.

"Life is about navigating through quicksand—those moments when we feel stuck. Through community, sports, and conversation, we can polish the diamond within each person and help it shine. RamsRise is about coming together to support mental health and show our young people they're never alone."
