Run for change

What is Run For Change?

Strong Minds hosts an annual charity event called Run for Change. This event  is a movement to raise awareness on mental health and addictions. 100% of donations and sponsorships raised during this event go back to the community of Sault Ste. Marie to support mental health initiatives.

Run for Change is organized to improve the movement to help stop the stigma associated with mental health and addictions. Each year Strong Minds donates 100% of the proceeds raised from the event to mental health initiatives within the Sault Ste. Marie area.

Some initiatives who’ve received support from Run for Change include the SAH mental health unit, the Canadian Mental Health Association, Save Our Young Adults, and Women in Crisis. We’ve even been able to support individuals whose families have been impacted by mental health.

Our 7th annual Run for Change takes place May 4, 2024. Get ready to run or walk your way through a 5km route. Individuals and teams are welcome!
