====
Sometimes a name tells the story. Sometimes it only tells part of it.

For more than three decades, Todd Martin Youth Leadership has been helping young people discover what they are capable of through sports, mentorship, leadership and community involvement. What began in 1993 with a simple idea has grown into an organization that reaches thousands of young people each year.

Family Mental Health Fun Day 2026: Building Resilient Communities

Mental health can be a difficult conversation to start. Family Mental Health Fun Day is built around a simple idea: it doesn’t always have to be difficult.

It’s an opportunity to talk about mental health in a way that feels approachable, positive and, most importantly, fun.

The goal is bigger than one day. It’s about building stronger families and a stronger community.

Alyssa Sattler fits all three.
