Mental Health Awareness Month Events

April is Mental Health Awareness Month, and will see two events associated with the Irsay.

On Friday, May 3, the Indianapolis Indians will host Mental Health Awareness Night in partnership with Kicking The Stigma, at Victory Field. All mental health professionals will receive $4 off tickets to the May 3 game by entering the code KICK before selecting their seats.

On top of discounted tickets, Kicking The Stigma in-park activations include a ceremonial first pitch, kicking inflatable in the Center Field Plaza, postgame/pre-fireworks Spark for Change ceremony and more.

“Kicking The Stigma has brought greater awareness about the importance of mental health to our community,” said Randy Lewandowski, Indianapolis Indians president and CEO. “Mental Health Awareness Night at Victory Field will provide an opportunity for the Indians and Kicking The Stigma together to continue conversations and end the stigma associated with mental health disorders.”

Kicking The Stigma was launched by the Indianapolis Colts and the Jim Irsay family in 2020 and has since raised more than $30 million to expand treatment and research and raise awareness about mental health in Indiana and beyond.

On Thursday, May 16, 6:30 – 7:30 pm, Morgenstern’s Books, Bloomington’s local independent bookstore, will host an author event with Anna Mueller (Irsay Senior Research Program Leader) for her recently published book, Life under Pressure: The Social Roots of Youth Suicide.
