'Get Out & Play' set at 3 sites

Together with the Active Minds student chapter at the University of Idaho, the Palouse Advocacy League plans a fundraiser Jan. 26 at Zeppoz in Pullman, the Wild at Art ceramics and painting studio in Moscow, and PLAYlive Nation social gaming lounge in the Palouse Mall. Each will donate a portion of their day’s proceeds to the Palouse Advocacy League and Active Minds.

Those who are compelled to support causes that work to prevent suicide and reduce the stigma associated with mental illness can support any of the three participating businesses to have a portion of their recreational fees donated to the two organizations.

People with depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mental and brain issues sometimes struggle to get out of their houses. “Get Out & Play!” encourages Palouse residents to go out, be social and get some exercise.

The winter months are a challenging time for individuals with depression or seasonal blues. It becomes more difficult to interact with others in a social setting. “Get Out & Play! encourages everyone to get out of their homes and to engage with other people in a fun way.
