With Thanksgiving almost a week away and Christmas right around the corner, it's time to get in the giving spirit!
FitPerez was contacted by a small non-profit organization called Erasing The Distance that sheds light on mental health issues through theater and we LOVE what they're doing!
The traveling ensemble based in Chicago uses the power of performance to disarm stigma, spark dialogue, educate, and promote healing surrounding issues of mental health through powerful productions that depict the effects of childhood trauma, alcoholism, drug use, and sexual assault (to name a few).
The organization was founded in 2005 to not only perform for the public, but collaborate with the nation's youth, schools, companies, and other community organizations to encourage others to share and perform their own stories about mental health.
ETD has already been seen by thousands (26,000 to be exact), but with a simple vote on Facebook you can help increase their audience and awareness for mental health!
Take a moment of your time and click here to vote for Erasing The Distance to receive a $25,000 grant from Chase Community Giving!
This could be the easiest way to help make a difference this holiday season because they aren't asking for money, just a few moments of your time and a vote!
