MDP Athletic stands as a strong ally in the battle against mental illness, joining forces with prominent foundations to amplify their efforts. As an esteemed partner, MDP Athletic proudly supports by donating a portion of proceeds to both the Hear My Cry Foundation and the Grant Halliburton Foundation, working hand in hand to promote and bolster mental health services for those in need. Keep scrolling to learn about these partners.
Hear My Cry Foundation, a 501c(3) charitable organization, was founded with a mission to address the growing epidemic of suicide impacting our communities and underserved populations through programs and services. We exercise high standards of ethics, best practice management, and accountability in education, prevention, and recovery.
The mission of Hear My Cry is personal to the founder, Tazora Moore because she lost her husband to suicide in July 2012. As a result, Hear My Cry Foundation is dedicated in remembrance of Daryl Wayne Moore.
Grant Halliburton Foundation was established in 2006 in memory of Grant Halliburton, a Dallas teen who battled depression and bipolar disorder for several years before his suicide death at the age of 19.
The Foundation that bears his name works to help families and young people recognize the signs of mental illness through a variety of avenues including mental health education, collaboration, encouragement, and information.
Grant Halliburton Foundation offers a variety of education programs, presentations, and an annual conference on mental wellness, suicide prevention, bullying, resilience, and other issues impacting youth mental health.
The Foundation also developed Here For Texas, which includes HereForTexas.com, an online searchable database of mental health resources in Texas, and the Here For Texas Mental Health Navigation Line, a free helpline. These no-cost community tools aim to offer easy access for Texans seeking mental health and addiction resources and information.
The Christopher Barkley Foundation was founded in 2022 in honor of its namesake, who passed away in January of that same year due to his own personal struggles with balancing mental health. We are a fundraising organization for non-profit service providers who help bring awareness and support to those impacted by the challenges of mental health and well-being in the Dallas-Fort Worth and North Texas region.
Our goal is to grant funds to the agencies and the people who need the support. In doing so, we plan to greatly lower the number of people who succumb to the challenges facing them through their obstacles with mental health and the stigma they fight on a daily basis. Their journey should not happen alone, but with the support of their friends, loved ones, and entire community.
