150 Strong | Support Youth Mental Health in Wisconsin

Because You Give

THEY HEAL

Across Wisconsin, more kids are struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression than ever before. Many are in crisis—and too many don’t—or can’t—get help.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for at least 150 people to each give $1,000 (every dollar will be matched up to $150,000!), so we can help place critically needed licensed therapists in our communities to help our youth not only survive—but thrive. Kids need us. They need you. So they can get support where and when they need it.

DONATE $1,000 TODAY

increase in Wisconsin youth who struggle with mental health, specifically depression, over the last decade

of Wisconsin youth with a diagnosed mental health condition (such as depression, anxiety or behavioral problems) receive no treatment

adolescents aged 12-17 have serious thoughts of suicide each year

When you join Rawhide 150, you're not just giving, you’re transforming lives. And we want to say thank you with a BBQ & Blues Celebration—an evening of slow-smoked flavor, live blues music, and powerful stories from kids who are still here. Because someone like you believed in them.

This is more than a night out. It’s a night to stand strong for youth who need it most—youth in your community who are struggling, overwhelmed by their thoughts, feeling isolated and desperately need a lifeline. Who desperately need Rawhide. Who desperately need you.

Please give and join us!
