The Andrew Collins Project is raising funds in honor of another victim of suicide, Jack Minette. Too often we see mental health struggles boiled down to a statistic, so we felt the best way to raise awareness was to focus on individuals.

We lost Jack Minette in November of 2021. He was a high school senior at Stratford Academy where he was active in student government, played lacrosse, and was a leading member on the design team. To honor Jack in this time of giving, the Andrew Collins Project will be collecting donations for the Jack Minette Fund at Stratford Academy. This fund will be aiding Stratford Academy in building a Mental Health Program to support and educate students such that what happened to Jack does not happen to anyone else. To kick things off, we have donated $500.

We are also introducing The Away In A Manger Ornament, which was made in honor of Jack. They are available for purchase from our website, acollinsproject.org, and all proceeds will go to the Jack Minette Mental Health Fund at Stratford Academy. The Nativity ornament from last year will also be available for purchase with proceeds going to the Jack Minette Mental Health fund as well.

We thank you so much for your continued support and joining us in contributing a great cause!
