About the event

YOUTH IMPACT CLUB (YIC)  is an after hours, high school club focused on advocating for, STIGMA REDUCTION, MENTAL WELLNESS, AND SUICIDE PREVENTION. Initiatives and events planned and hosted by club members, are designed to increase knowledge on the topics of mental wellness and suicide prevention, making both issues "talk-able" topics.

100% of all funds raised through the 5K Butterfly Run/Walk event (registrations, sponsors, donors, and raffle sales), will be applied directly to the continuation  of mental health and suicide prevention initiatives, including a state approved suicide prevention program called HOPE SQUAD as well as QPR training (suicide prevention method).  Funds will also be provided to help Badger Middle School set up a Youth Impact Club (Hope Squad) based on the number of people that sign up for the Badger Team!

The 10th Annual 5K Butterfly Run/Walk"fun"draiser will be held at the West Bend High school football stadium and track and field.  We will utilize our Cross Country team's 5K route!  Make it even more fun by joining as a team and winning the big team award!

Sign up by August 15th and receive a 25% discount.  Use the code "earlybird" when registering.

Not available to join us in person on September 15th? No worries! You can still support the Youth Impact Club and their advocacy for mental wellness, suicide prevention, and the reduction of negative stigma. 

DONATIONS ARE WELCOMED to help cover the cost of a state approved, suicide prevention program to be implemented by the Youth Impact Club at the West Bend High Schools. 

Perhaps this year, more than ever, we are all keenly aware of the mental health challenges faced by many, making the need for our Youth Impact Club and their great work all the more vital.
