Coming Together as a Community to Make This Vision a Reality

This was our first live relay since 2019, though we’ve had our challenges the past two years our community showed up and came together to create this beautiful and impactful fund raising event. Together we raised over $17,000 for the MillionMaskMovement and our teen mental health and community wellness initiatives and donations are still coming in! In addition to this event’s success, we were able to come together and celebrate 18 years of Ever Forward and it was incredibly fun! We extend a sincere thank you to our beautiful community for all your support, love, and contributions. With out all of you, none of this is possible.

Your Efforts and Support in this years event helped to provide direct funding and support for Ever Forward’s #MillionMaskMovement, which provides mental health resources to underserved youth around the world.

THANK YOU For Helping Us Bring This Vision To Life

We want to hear your thoughts!

Keep in touch, drop us a line, stay connected, and receive updates

When we created EFC: the Adventure, we had mentors and educators of all kinds in mind and we designed our crowdfunding campaign to sponsor teachers to receive a deck of #EFCadventure for free. The Challenges in Our adventure are deeply meaningful and allow students to go deep. However As we began to develop the questions and the gameplay, we realized that it was critical that teachers were provided with more than just the rules for the game but they needed training for getting students prepared for deeply meaningful conversations or activities.

We worked with a group of young men during the prototype Game Play. We realized that, In addition to raising money to provide this game for free for teachers, We needed to provide some deeper training to teachers to create a safe space for their students to play this game.

Taking Off The Mask: Men's Workshop

WORKSHOP INFO: This session models a safe, virtual space for men and small groups to engage in an uncommonly open, honest dialogue. By closing the gap between who we are on the inside and who we show up as at work, play, online or other places, we create more meaningful connections, healthier communication, deeper engagement - and ultimately more powerful results.
