Our Story
The 71 Reasons and More Foundation was established in loving memory of Mark Chapas Jr., who tragically lost his life to suicide on October 22, 2021. Mark's impact on the community was profound, and this foundation aims to honor his legacy by promoting mental health awareness and support. The mission focuses on integrating mental health programs into local schools and providing scholarships for youth in need. A vision for a community center, a safe haven for youth and young adults, is also in the works, offering free mental health services and resources in a judgment-free environment.
