As part of the Stop the Stigma Campaign, Stronger as a Pack aims to rally our community around supporting student mental health and encouraging all Thunderwolves to take action to support their own mental health and get help when needed. 

In addition to cheering on your Thunderwolves at the hockey tournament, you can support student mental health by purchasing a Stronger as a Pack t-shirt by November 15 or donating directly to our Strengthening the Pack Giving Fund. All proceeds will go to student mental health initiatives and a portion will be dedicated to enhancing student-athlete well-being. By contributing, you’re directly supporting initiatives that foster mental resilience, togetherness, and a stronger community. Let’s come together to make a lasting impact on campus—because we’re Stronger as a Pack!

We will also have Stop the Stigma Swag, and a chance to take a photo with Wolfie!

This event is open to everyone!
