We're asking you to have a heart-literally.Will you be part of something truly life-changing? Have A Heart, our annual Kids In Crisis event supporting Ridgefield schools, is more than a gathering-it's a lifeline for local students facing mental health challenges, family crises, and trauma.


Every dollar raised supports Ridgefield TeenTalk, our in-school mental health program providing trusted counselors at Ridgefield High School, East Ridge Middle School, and Scotts Ridge Middle School. These embedded counselors offer consistent support for students ages 12-18, when and where it's needed most.


Your Have A Heart sponsorship helps place a trained counselor in school hallways and keeps critical support available beyond school hours through our 24/7 helpline and SafeHaven Shelter. It creates a safe space for kids in crisis, support for families, and early intervention before situations escalate.


The impact is real: during the 2023-2024 school year, Ridgefield had the lowest percentage of crisis assessments among all schools served by Kids In Crisis-proof that early, consistent mental health support works.
