Thank you for your sponsorship!

In 2019, all of Connor's Climb Foundations hard work paid off with the passing of the law RSA 193-J public and charter schools in NH are now required to provide suicide prevention education to school personnel at all levels and to students in middle and high school on an annual basis. At Connor’s Climb Foundation, we believe that suicide prevention education is not just vital, it’s non-negotiable. That’s why we take it upon ourselves to ensure that schools have access to this life-saving training without burdening them with any costs. But we don't stop there. We go the extra mile by investing in the Third Party SOS Mindwise portal, empowering staff to extend our teachings to their students, multiplying the impact exponentially. We do not receive any federal or state funding. Instead, we rely on the generosity of individuals like you. By becoming a sponsor of Connor’s Climb Foundation, you're not just supporting a cause; you're becoming a crucial partner in saving lives. Your support helps us alleviate the financial strain and ensures that no school, no child, is left without the tools they need to navigate mental health challenges. Join us in this mission. Together, let’s make suicide prevention education accessible, effective, and—most importantly—life-changing. Commit by August 16th for full promotional benefits.
