BATL for Mental Health was an axe-traordinary success!

With 18 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 $16,893 (and counting!) for programs and initiatives that provide accessible, community-based 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. 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 United Way, we believe no one should have to wait for help when life feels heavy. Learn more about what we’re doing to make that possible for everyone in our region.
