Why BBRF

We’ve all known someone who's struggled with a mental illness.  A family member, a friend, a loved one, perhaps you.  It's a tough, exhausting battle not only for the person suffering from the mental illness but also for those trying to help.  We chose BBRF because of the impact they have in an area which hits so close to home.  Together with BBRF we can alleviate the suffering caused by mental illness for those we know, those we love, and the 1 in 5 adults (and countless others) affected by mental illness.  Together we can lift the stigma and make a difference.
