In 2014, we set out with a simple yet ambitious goal: help young people with severe and persistent mental illness transition from adolescence to adulthood.

So how did we decide to help? By throwing a party: Bash4Guild.

The purpose of the bash is twofold.

First, we are raising money for Equilibrium (EQ), Guild Incorporated’s youth services. The EQ team works directly with young people with mental illness in our communities.

Second, we want to spread the message that mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, one in 25 Americans has a serious mental illness. It’s more common than people think.

Let’s get together and smash through the stigma of mental illness.

Attend the ultimate party-with-a-purpose to learn more and show your support. Then, spread the word. Together, we can make a difference.

With earnest sincerity,

NIK & MATT
