Newswise — COLUMBUS, Ohio – Thirty-One Gifts and its charitable program, Thirty-One Gives, has launched a spring fundraising campaign on behalf of Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Now, through May 31, Thirty-One Gifts will offer Customers the opportunity to support the hospital’s On Our Sleeves behavioral health platform by rounding up to the nearest dollar or donating an amount of their choice.

“It is time to break the silence about children’s mental health and with the support of mission-driven partners like Thirty-One Gifts, together, we can set the foundation for helping children not just in our own backyard, but also provide critical resources to children and families around the country,” said Niki Shafer, senior vice president, Outreach, Nationwide Children’s Hospital Foundation.  

On our Sleeves was launched in the fall of 2018 to create a network of support for the millions of families around the country living with mental illness. The platform addresses the stigma associated with the diagnosis of a mental illness or behavioral health condition and providing the necessary tools to help improve behavioral health outcomes.

“Since 2016, we have been proudly partnered with Nationwide Children’s Hospital in support of life changing behavioral health research and are now proud to join the On Our Sleeves movement with our family of more than 60,000 independent sales consultants across the U.S. to break mental health stigmas and support children everywhere,” said Cindy Monroe, Founder & CEO, Thirty-One Gifts.

Thirty-One Gives works to empower girls, women and families by helping them build the confidence and self-esteem needed to live a purposeful, thriving life. Since 2012, Thirty-One Gives has donated $100 million in product and cash to charitable organizations that share the Gives mission.
