Trey Moses and 24 Reasons Nonprofit Organization Raise Awareness for Suicide Prevention Through Basketball Game
Title: Former Ball State Basketball Player Trey Moses Raises Awareness About Suicide Prevention
Former Ball State basketball player Trey Moses is on a mission to spread awareness about mental health and suicide prevention through his nonprofit organization, 24 Reasons. Moses, who battled severe depression and anxiety for over a decade, wants the world to know that it’s okay to not be okay.
The inaugural “Be The Reason” celebrity basketball game, hosted by Moses at his high school, raised funds for mental health awareness and prevention initiatives. The event honored Moses’ former college teammate, Zach Hollywood, who died by suicide in 2017. The two bonded over their shared passion for helping children with disabilities.
Moses, who now plays professional basketball, dedicated his career to Hollywood and wears his jersey number (24) in his memory. Despite dealing with survivor’s remorse, Moses is determined to use his own struggles to help others.
The celebrity basketball game featured former Louisville star Peyton Siva and other notable athletes, all coming together to support Moses’ cause. Inspired by Moses, former Bellarmine star Pedro Bradshaw expressed his desire to give back to the community through charitable events and camps.
Moses aims to work with schools to develop a mental health curriculum for young athletes and children. He believes that sharing his story and creating events like the celebrity basketball game can help people access the resources they need to address their mental health struggles.
As the event continues to expand, Moses plans to organize more initiatives to raise awareness and support suicide prevention. Through his efforts, he hopes to create a safe space for individuals to open up about their mental health challenges and seek help when needed.
If you or someone you know is struggling, don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or dial 988 immediately.
Moses’ dedication to mental health advocacy is a reminder that it’s important to prioritize our well-being and seek support when facing mental health challenges.
