Your participation supports real, local efforts&nbsp;&mdash; from outreach to families to conversations that remind someone they&rsquo;re not alone. Browse the items, place your bids, and stay present with us in this work.&nbsp;

Project Stay's Silent Auction

On January 1, 2025, we lost Jay to suicide. &nbsp;In the wake of that unimaginable loss, we witnessed an overwhelming outpouring of love from family, friends, fellow service members, and even complete strangers who were touched by his story. &nbsp;It became painfully clear just how many people are silently struggling and how deeply mental health impacts individuals, families, and entire communities. &nbsp; Jay was the kind of person who left a lasting impact everywhere he went. &nbsp;His smile, personality, and heart for others continue to be remembered and celebrated daily by those who knew and loved him. &nbsp;Through that love, Project Stay was born - not only to honor Jay&rsquo;s life, but to help create conversations, support systems, and reminders that no one has to face their struggles alone. Our mission is simple but powerful: to encourage people to stay supported, stay strong, stay loved, and most importantly, stay.
