Same Here Global
Same Here Global believes mental health is a shared human experience—not something that affects only a few. Their alliance is built on the idea that we are all connected by the emotional pain we feel from difficult life events. By normalizing this shared experience, they promote honest conversation, reduce stigma, and build a global community rooted in empathy and support.
Allegany County Animal Shelter
The Allegany County Animal Shelter is a true “Shelter of Hope” for lost, abandoned, and homeless animals. They work to lead with compassion through exceptional care, humane education, and progressive animal welfare programs—while partnering with the community to create practical, common-sense solutions for every animal in need.
“I’m big on the mental health of athletes. Same Here Global has been a big part of my why.”
