In recognition of Mental Health Awareness month, Colorado Children's Hospital is hosting the second annual Friday Night Lights: Shining a Light on Mental Health, benefiting the Pediatric Mental Health Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado. 

This event is in collaboration with NFL player Ben Garland and his Wingman 63 Foundation and includes a fun stair climb for teens, kids, and their families with the goal of raising awareness of mental health, reducing the stigma of asking for help, and equipping attendees with practical take-home tools to support their mental strength.
