Challenge: Accepted Events

  • Brandon Gray Thin Line Memorial Trail Run 5K

    Join us for the Thin Line Memorial Run 5K, an inspiring trail run dedicated to honoring the first responders and veterans we’ve lost to suicide and supporting the families they left behind. This isn’t just a race—it’s a tribute to their service, a call for awareness, and a step toward breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.

  • Brake the Stigma Car Show

    A car show with a mission. Brake the Stigma isn’t just about horsepower and shine—it’s about mental health resilience and raising awareness for the challenges faced by veterans, first responders, and their families.

    Show off your ride, share your story, and be part of a powerful movement to break the stigma surrounding mental health in high-trauma careers.
