Who We Support

Young Adults

Young adults ages 15-25 experience unprecedented change, which can lead to increased stress levels, poor mental health outcomes, and potentially self-harm. We aim to help these young adults safely navigate this decade of change.

Family and Friends / Support

Mental health issues impact the entire family. Friends may not know how to help a loved one or when to intervene. We want to provide friends and families with resources to help those they love. No one should struggle in isolation.

Mental Health Partners

The Sam Asbury Foundation is passionate about amplifying and accelerating the work of our mental health partners. We partner with a variety of organizations working to better mental health among those aged 15-25 and support research, education, and prevention of suicide among this population.

The Fight Against Suicide

The Fight Against Suicide is a high-energy amateur boxing event that raises funds for local mental health organizations and The Sam Asbury Foundation. Through education, awareness events, and the fight itself, we create a supportive, stigma-free space where students can rally together for mental health. This dynamic event sparks important conversations and reminds participants and spectators alike that seeking help is as courageous as stepping into the ring. Together, we are stronger in the fight against suicide.

Remembering Sam: A Legacy of Strength, Awareness, and Hope

Sam’s Story

Sam was more than just a son, brother, and friend—he was the kind of person who could light up any room. Whether he was playing basketball, hitting the golf course, or just hanging out with friends, Sam had this incredible energy about him. He was insanely talented and competitive, and had the ability to brighten anyone’s day with just the right joke or funny comment. He left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
