Strike Out the Stigma

Strike Out the Stigma is a Philadelphia Phillies Community Outreach mental health awareness initiative focused on bringing important conversations to the forefront about the value of healthy life habits, supporting those around us, and removing the negative connotation surrounding mental health.
