A Special Thank You to 100 Airdrie Men Who Give a Damn

As we continue to celebrate the incredible success of the Sideways screening and community fundraiser, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the members of 100 Airdrie Men Who Give a Damn for their generous support and sponsorship.

This remarkable group has built a reputation for stepping up, giving back, and making a real difference in our community.

Their commitment to supporting local initiatives and organizations is helping create a stronger, more connected, and more compassionate Airdrie.

The Sideways screening was about more than a documentary.

It was about bringing people together.

It was about starting conversations around mental health, resilience, hope, and healing.

It was about reminding people that they are not alone.

By supporting this event, 100 Airdrie Men Who Give a Damn helped create an evening that touched hearts, inspired conversations, and strengthened our community.

The impact of that support will continue long after the credits have rolled.

Thank you for your leadership, your generosity, and your commitment to making Airdrie a better place for everyone.

You continue to demonstrate what can happen when people come together with a shared desire to make a difference.

❤️ Thank you for helping us create an evening that became far more than we could have imagined.

Together, we are building stronger communities, one conversation at a time.

A Special Thank You to the Airdrie Elite Hockey Committee (AEHC)

As we reflect on the incredible success of the Sideways screening in Airdrie, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Airdrie Elite Hockey Committee for their support and partnership.

The AEHC's vision is about far more than developing elite hockey players.

Their mission is to prepare young athletes for success beyond sport by equipping them with the skills, values, character, and mindset needed to thrive both on and off the ice.

That commitment resonates deeply with the mission of I Got Mind and the message behind Sideways.

The documentary reminds us that while hockey can open doors and create opportunities, it is the life skills we develop along the way—resilience, perseverance, leadership, connection, and purpose—that ultimately shape who we become.

The Airdrie Elite Hockey Committee continues to create a culture of excellence that not only develops athletes but also helps develop strong young men prepared for the challenges and opportunities that life will bring.

Thank you for investing in the next generation of athletes and for supporting conversations around mental health, personal development, and well-being.

Together, we are helping young people understand that success is measured not only by what happens on the ice, but by who they become as individuals.

Thank you for helping build stronger athletes, stronger leaders, and stronger communities.

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Thumbs Up Foundation Airdrie

As we continue to celebrate the incredible success of the Sideways screening and community fundraiser, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Thumbs Up Foundation Airdrie for their support, leadership, and commitment to creating meaningful change in the mental health space.

What makes the Thumbs Up Foundation so unique is their belief that lasting change happens when we work together.

They are committed to breaking down barriers, eliminating silos, amplifying the voices of those with lived experience, and creating a future where su***de does not have to be the outcome.

Their vision is both simple and powerful:

A world where physical and mental wellness are balanced. Where access to care is timely, connected, and compassionate. Where hope isn't just a word—but a reality.

That vision was reflected throughout Monday evening.

People came together.
Stories were shared.
Conversations were started.
Connections were made.

The Sideways screening was a reminder that healing happens when communities unite around a common purpose.

The Thumbs Up Foundation truly puts the "Connect" in Connection, the "Human" in Humanity, the "Passion" in Compassion, and the "Unity" in Community.

Thank you for standing alongside I Got Mind, Venue Church, the Airdrie Sport Council, and so many incredible community partners to help create an evening that was far more impactful than we could have imagined.

Together, we are building hope.
Together, we are creating connection.
Together, we are changing lives.

❤️ Thank you for making a difference.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Sheri Lux

One of the most powerful voices we heard during our Sideways screening in Airdrie was Sheri Lux.

After losing her RCMP husband to su***de, Sheri chose to transform unimaginable loss into a mission of hope, healing, and advocacy. Her courage, vulnerability, and commitment to raising awareness around mental health touched everyone in the room.

As a speaker, author, and advocate, Sheri continues to inspire others through her story and her message that no one should suffer in silence.

If you haven't already, I encourage you to support Sheri by purchasing her book, Finding My Fire, a powerful story of resilience, recovery, and hope in the face of personal tragedy.

I also encourage you to follow her work through Sheri Lux: Inspirational Speaker; Healing Through Arts, where she continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. She has a beautiful collection of candles available as a way to support her work.

Sheri, thank you for sharing your heart, your story, and your passion for helping others heal. Your voice is creating change and reminding people that there is always hope.

❤️ You are making a difference.
