Think SCF clothes are just a feel-good thing for you? Think again!

As much as we love seeing SCF gear out in the world just for the smiles... it has become clear to us that SCF merch has an even BIGGER impact out in the wild we didn't anticipate at first...

We hear over and over again about the IMPACTFUL conversations that are sparked SIMPLY BECAUSE someone is wearing SCF GEAR out in their daily life! A shirt with an SCF logo, a hat with the BE KIND graphic on it, or a hoodie with one of the SCF logos across it... any of them can spark a conversation about what SCF is or about mental health, or prompt someone to ask "What is SCF?" In that moment, a conversation opens up, a story is shared, Sage's story is told... and two people share a vulnerable moment that they never would have otherwise. That isa golden opportunity for a stigma about mental health and suicide to be shattered. In that moment, a permission slip is granted, to be open, to be vulnerable, to NOT BE OK. And that permission slip is priceless.

That's why we continue to make SCF gear. That's why we hope you will continue to WEAR SCF gear. We hope you will continue to wear your rainbows, your smiles, and your "permission slips" into the world with all the love and kindness they are intended.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!! YOU MATTER... and you are making change happen!!! LITTLE PEBBLES MAKE BIG WAVES!!!

What our supporters say...

"Sonoma County is a small place and our family loves being out and seeing someone else wearing SCF stuff! It's like running into family somewhere! It's such an amazing way to connect with people. So many conversations have started while I am wearing my sweatshirt."

Fellow Hillcrest Middle School Family

"A friend at work asked me where my shirt was from, and when I told her about SCF, she confided that just a few nights ago her own son had attempted suicide. Wow! It opened up such a great conversation that we never would have had otherwise. #SAGESPOTTING!!"

From an out of state friend (Sage TRAVELS!)

"I wear my Sage sweatshirt to school and my [school] kids all know Sage's story. It has opened up very important conversations in our class. It's a reminder to my kids that I am a safe place to confide. It means so much to me."

From a teacher friend

"I love wearing my Sage Casey Foundation sweatshirt. It reminds me of Sage. It makes me remember to keep all the little things in perspective. And I am so much better at remembering to take the time to be patient instead of getting frustrated (most of the time) when I have that reminder. Thank you!"
