Team Impact is a national nonprofit that pairs college sports teams with children with serious disabilities and illness, creating a lifelong relationship that benefits everyone involved. I first got involved with this organization in the summer of 2023 and it was the best decision of my life.
In order to fundraise for the Team Impact All in 5k, I had to lean heavily on my personal social network to spread the word about the event. After only about 2 months of fundraising, Wesleyan was able to raise just under $2,000, which was one of the largest contributions in the entire country by any campus.
In April of 2023, I created an Instagram page—@lucidosportspsych—devoted to mental health advocacy and motivational content. My page has strengthened and evolved since I started posting personable videos, touching on critical subjects involving anxiety and depression.
