Thank you to everyone who joined us for Pastor Plunge 2024! The pastors, Rev. Tim Hare of Trumbull Congregational Church and Rev. Todd Shipley of Unity Hill United Church of Christ, braved the chilly waters of Pinewood Lake in support of the mental health and suicide prevention mission of My Friend Abby, Inc.
Reverends Tim and Todd were joined by several other resilient individuals, including members
of the Trumbull High School wrestling team, all of whom survived the icy plunge to enjoy a
Shamrock Shake afterward!
My Friend Abby appreciates the support of the Reverends, and all of the participants and contributors to Pastor Plunge 2024. We hope to see you again next year!
We are very grateful to all of you!
My Friend Abby sends out so much love and gratitude and special thanks to all of our volunteers, sponsors, silent auction donors, guest speakers and guests for sharing your light to support youth and young adult suicide prevention.
Our fundraiser on Friday at Two Roads Brewery was a heartwarming evening featuring Olympic Gold Medalist Samantha Livingstone, Lorena Sferlazza, and Linda Kwong, sharing their own experiences about mental health and how important it is to talk about the way we feel. Special thanks also to The Original Vazzy's and Claire's Corner Copia for the delicious, donated food, and Black Rock Fire and Jes Nieves for rocking it! There are so many more people to thank and so many more photos to share -- we, again, thank you all from the bottom of our heart!
We want to inspire a mental health revolution one friend at a time, and it's gatherings like these where you can feel the love, caring, resiliency and hope for our youth and young adults!
