The Thumbs Up High 5K event was created to spread awareness about depression, mental health and suicide awareness.  Each of our committee members has been touched by suicide in their life, whether it be a relative, friend, co-worker or a classmate.  

Our Mission Statement:

We value LIFE and we ASPIRE to help others in our COMMUNITY by talking about MENTAL HEALTH.

Our Vision is to see a world that doesn’t discriminate against those with mental health conditions. We will go to combat with our Health Care System to umbrella all mental health ailments.  One-by-one, with each 5K, 10K, 1/2 Marathon or Full Marathon, we will explore practical mental health care coverage.  We will do this with benevolence for those we’ve already lost; we will shape a new path for those who struggle with depression. With responsibility, we will guide those who encounter this disease. 

We can't wait to see you at the 3rd Annual event on Saturday, October 1st, 2016!

From all of us at,
