💙💛 KICKING THE STIGMA | COLTS FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL TOUR | OCTOBER 9 💛💙

Join us Friday, October 9, at the CHS football game vs. Greencastle as we come together to raise awareness for mental health. Gates open and activities begin at 6:00pm. Game kickoff is 7:00pm.

Kicking The Stigma’s focus is two-fold: raising awareness about the prevalence of mental health disorders in our communities and raising and distributing funding to nonprofits and other organizations for direct treatment services. Through the collaborations with local schools and community organizations, each Kicking The Stigma Mental Health Awareness Night aims to feature informational resources, awareness activities, special recognitions and opportunities for attendees to learn more about mental health supports available in their communities.

🏈 The Colts Friday Night Football Tour will be at CHS!
Friday Night Football Tour, presented by Hellas Construction and sponsored in part by Certor Sports, Collins Flags and Indiana University will visit Crawfordsville HS next Friday, October 9th, for their matchup against Greencastle.

The tour celebrates high school football in Indiana at games across the state in 2026. At each stop, the Colts bring interactive fan activities – including inflatables, giveaways, games, a chance to win Colts prizes and more. Members of the Colts Cheerleaders also will be on hand to sign autographs and take pictures with fans.

Come out, support the Athenians, enjoy a great night of football and help us send an important message: “Together, we can continue kicking the stigma surrounding mental health.”

Visit: KickingTheStigma.org for more details.

💙💛 Go Athenians!
