The Canadian Mental Health Association of Wood Buffalo is getting a big help financially thanks to a group of people donning a mullet.
The annual March Mullets campaign was able to raise over $26,000 which will be used to advance youth mental health programming within the organization’s recovery college.
Over 20 people took part which included a two-year-old, two women, and even a dog.
Speaking on Fort McMurray Matters, Emma Jones, CMHA Marketing and Community Relations Manager, noted the campaign also helped start a conversation.
“There is still that stigma associated, we feel maybe a little uncomfortable about sharing our feelings, men and women, but definitely men have that pressure from society still.”
