**Mentally United's Community Members Supporting our Soccer for Wellness Campaign during Colorado Rapids vs LAFC Match**

Earlier this year, we proudly announced our partnership with the Colorado Rapids, uniting for a shared mission, to bring mental health awareness, emotional resilience, and community connection into the heart of Colorado’s sports culture.

On October 18, 2025, that partnership came to life in the best way possible. For the Rapids’ final home game of the season against LAFC, our Mentally United team joined fans at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park to celebrate wellness, community, and the healing power of soccer. What began as an initiative to normalize mental-health conversations in athletic spaces turned into a day filled with energy, connection, and impact. Through this collaboration, a portion of ticket proceeds also went directly toward supporting Mentally United’s nonprofit initiatives - helping us expand access to mental health education, community support programs, and wellness resources for families and schools across Colorado.

More than a dozen members from our community attended the match, proudly representing Mentally United and standing together for a cause that reaches far beyond the scoreboard. We distributed free mental-health resources, started heartfelt conversations with fans and families, and encouraged everyone to reflect on how sports can strengthen not only the body but also the mind.

During the event, our team also filmed a new community campaign short-film exploring "How soccer connects people, fosters belonging, and enhances mental well-being." The video highlights a universal truth: when people come together - whether in the stands or on the field, they create an environment where hope and healing can thrive. Stay tuned for it's premiere on our YouTube Channel - We Are Mentally United Podcast.

Sports have always been more than competition; they’re about teamwork, connection, and shared energy. Soccer, in particular, has a unique way of bringing people together from all walks of life. Through this partnership, we aimed to showcase how physical activity, community engagement, and collective passion nurture emotional well-being and strengthen social bonds.

Our partnership with the Colorado Rapids is just the beginning. Mentally United is committed to continuing collaborations that bridge mental health advocacy with the power of sports, art, and community. Together, we’re proving that when people unite for wellness, the impact reaches far beyond the stands.

We’re deeply grateful to everyone who joined us at the game, supported our mission, and helped make this event a success. Thank you for showing that mental health belongs everywhere, including the soccer field.

Stay Empowered. Stay Rapid. Stay United.
