St. Joseph High School teams up with Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation to shine a light on mental health
The St. Joseph High School Grad Committee hosted “Restaurant Takeover” at State & Main (Red Deer South) to raise money for their Grad Service Project and to bring awareness to mental health issues. The night featured “celebrity waiters” including Ken Foster, Supt. Red Deer RCMP, Lloyd Lewis, HLCol 41 Signal Regiment, Ken McMullen, Fire Chief, Damian Lagrange, Deputy Fire Chief, St. Joseph High School Principal, Mr. Graeme Daniel, and Vice-Principals, Mr. Ian Stan and Mrs. Teresa Borchers.
The evening also supported the efforts of the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation, created in 2015 after Lindsey Kathleen More tragically took her life at the age of 22. Prior to her sudden passing and after a string of suicides at community high schools, Lindsey wanted to help those who were suffering in silence, as she did. Honouring her wishes, and to help keep Lindsey’s legacy of love and laughter alive, the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation was formed.
Developed by her parents Rick and Cindy More, the foundation supports those suffering from mental illness through high-impact programs. Since then, Smiles Thru Lindsey has raised over $100,000 thanks to generous citizens, businesses, and donors.
