The BIG Give 23

Our goal for this auction is to raise $10,500. Money from the auction will go toward the larger goal of raising $125,000 to launch an entirely new program in 2024 called Storm Chasers.

Storm Chasers is a small army of volunteers equipped with a mobile kitchen. Nutritious people whipping up nutritious/delicious food. And because they've survived their own storms, they also know how to help others dodge debris. In every caregiver's life there are storms. The diagnosis, the breakdowns after shouldering too much for too long, living with certainty your loved one might die and the loneliness of the aftermath. Jacks dodge the flying debris as best as they can, yet some of it somehow always hits them.

Most of us send our thoughts and prayers from the comfort of distance. Some of us even send Door Dash gift cards. But Storm Chasers get as close as they possibly can, bringing comfort and joy in a storm of sadness and chaos.

Welcome to the not-so-secret club for caregivers. Our mission is to improve the way guys think, feel, and act through every phase of their caregiving journey. We serve anyone 18 and older who has cared for a loved one facing a health crisis. This includes anyone who has lost their loved one as well as anyone whose health crisis is currently in remission. While the purpose of our work is centered on guy caregivers (anyone who identifies as a guy), we also offer a variety of coed programming opportunities.
