Norfolk, VA November 22, 2017<\/strong>– On November 28, 2017 the ARDX Foundation will join the #GivingTuesday movement, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities, and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide.<\/p>\n

#GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the US) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday to kick-off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince our inception, the ARDX Foundation\u2019s focus has been to shine a light on mental wellness,\u201d states Angela D. Reddix, Founder and Board Chair of the ARDX Foundation.\u00a0 \u201cMental health is a growing epidemic in our country and it will continue to be until we begin to have real, open conversations about it \u2013 and these conversations must initiate in the home. During #GivingTuesday, we are excited to begin our end-of-year fundraising campaign to support the Foundation\u2019s newest program in 2018, The Mental Wellness Educational Seminars. These seminars will teach women (who are the head of our households) how to start having open conversations with their families, to start transcending the stigma surrounding mental health, and to begin to create healthy mental wellness initiatives for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Collaborating with mental health experts from within the Hampton Roads community, the ARDX Foundation will hold on-site, quarterly seminars focused on detecting the signs of mental health, how to start having open conversations, and creating proactive mental wellness initiatives. Your support on #GivingTuesday will allow ARDX Foundation to provide these seminars at no cost to the community.<\/p>\n

Join the ARDX Foundation this #GivingTuesday, as we continue to shine a light on mental wellness and create a community that is transcending the stigma surrounding mental health for generations to come. To donate, visit us at\u00a0 www.ardxfoundation.org\/donate<\/a>.<\/p>\n
