Another year, another axe-ceptional night of fun and philanthropy!
With 16 incredible teams, an unforgettable night of axe-throwing, and a community ready to rally behind mental health initiatives, we’re thrilled to share that together we raised $15,137 for local mental health programs. That’s more than $3,000 compared to last year and it’s all directly funding programs that provide accessible, community-based mental health support.

More Than Just a Tournament
Yes, we battled it out in the lanes, but BATL for Mental Health is so much more than axe throwing. It’s about coming together as a community, sparking important conversations, and making a tangible impact for mental health. Whether participants were seasoned axe-throwers or picking up an axe for the first time, everyone played a role in supporting mental health services that are needed now more than ever.
The funds raised will go directly toward local programs that provide accessible mental health support for those who need it most, ensuring that no one has to face their struggles alone. At GenNext, we believe that nurturing our mental health is essential for our well-being. Learn more about what we’re doing to make that possible for everyone in our region.
What’s Next?
At GenNext, we believe in philanthropy with a side of fun. Whether you joined us at BATL or are looking for more ways to get involved, we’ve got plenty of ways to connect, give back, and be part of a movement that’s making real change in our communities.
