Since the launch of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in July 2020, U.S. suicide rates have declined by an encouraging 11%. Research highlighted by Ellen Barry suggests that nearly 4,400 adolescents and young adults may be alive today because of the life-saving impact of 988.

​

At the Nickel Open Fund, we have proudly supported the 988 initiative since its beginning through our valued partnership with NAMI Minnesota. From branded pens and stickers to community outreach, we are committed to raising awareness and connecting people to critical mental health resources.

​

This meaningful progress is only possible because of supporters like you. Together, we are helping save lives, spark hope, and strengthen mental health advocacy for future generations.
