The Benny Fund is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving mental health and preventing suicide through advocacy and education. We strive to ensure mental health is spoken about openly at our dinner tables, in our schools, and as a community, while working to end stigma and silence. We do this through mental health advocacy campaigns, such as Benny’s Run, #projectlove, and Stick it to Stigma, and by providing funding to mental health and suicide prevention education programs. Additionally, we award scholarships to high school students. To date, and thanks to your support, we have invested nearly just under $100,000 into education and scholarships.

The organization was formed by Holly Neiweem after her brother, Benjamin Neiweem, died by suicide. This organization is our way to remember and pay tribute to his adventurous and loving spirit. Our message is one of hope and compassion. We are here to remind you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We are a strong community, fighting to make mental health a priority for everyone.
