The Michael James Cotton Foundation financially supports adolescents/young adults 17-30 years old who cannot afford the support needed to help conquer the growing challenges of addiction, depression, and mental health.
Although an accident took Michael from this world way too early, he won this battle against great odds. The Michael James Cotton Foundation helps provide the opportunity to others who have the desire and drive but lack the economic means to achieve the Victory that Michael did.
Looking Ahead:
September 1st 7pm
We’ll explore the topic of loneliness and kindness: Video watch party and discussion. Bring light potluck snacks if you’d like. We’ll provide a pizza.
