Fight the Stigma 3 -- September 6, 2025

It’s Okay to Not Feel Okay!!

Fight the Stigma Colorado (FTS) Is a consortium of like-minded community members with a mission to promote and support art and music events that highlight the importance of fighting stigma when it comes to approaching Addiction and mental illness.  Currently, we are working hard to raise $50,000 to support our THIRD annual music festival on September 6th, 2025 as well as launch FTS STATEWIDE. We are looking for sponsors like you to help us reach our goal and spread our important message. 

Why is your sponsorship/donation so important? The answer is simple: Wouldn’t we all love to live in a stigma free community? We are asking you to support, nurture and forward a community that values and accepts all individuals challenged with Addiction and/or mental illness as people worthy of respect and dignity and to help create a community that understands the damage stigma can play when it comes to individuals looking for help.  Won’t you be willing to help us by sponsoring or donating to the FTS festival? 

Your generosity means the world to us. The support of our sponsors helped us host our first event last year, where we spread our message about the importance for us as a community to create safe spaces and attitudes towards those who might be hesitant to seek help and to be receptive to the different courses recovery can take for each of us. If we raise more this year, we can accomplish real change in our community.  To do this we need your help!!

Join us September 6th, 2025 at Avogadro's Number, Fort Collins, music starts at 1:00.
