Mental Health

Kicking the Stigma
Kicking The Stigma grew from Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay’s promise to face the mental health crisis head on. After hearing from countless fans suffering in silence, the Irsay family turned their platform into a lifeline—raising awareness, funding frontline nonprofits, and creating brave spaces where athletes and everyday people can talk openly about mental health. Today, Kicking The Stigma helps Hoosiers exchange shame for courage so more people feel seen, supported, and ready to reach out for help.

Lane Johnson is helping veterans rediscover purpose through service

Lane Johnson was deeply moved by veterans and Gold Star families who shared how meaningful service after the military can rebuild purpose and connection. That’s why he’s championing the Travis Manion Foundation, where veterans mentor students and strengthen character in communities nationwide. By uplifting those who continue to lead long after the uniform comes off, Lane is honoring America’s heroes and helping ensure they have the support and purpose they deserve.
