The Mental Health Crisis: 

According to the Vermont Department o f Health, the Youth Crisis is prominent. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among those age 10-24 years old. In Vermont, there are 2-3 deaths per week, effecting children, families, schools, communities, first-responders and emergency healthcare providers. The problem demands our attention.

The Nathan M. Carreira Endowment Fund

The NMC endowment was established in loving memory of Nathan Carreira [March 12, 2003-March 26, 2018] Skiing was Nathan’s passion and he quickly developed a love for racing, spending every weekend at Stratton Mountain. The Carreira Family directed donations to the Stratton Community Foundation after Nathan’s passing at the young age of 15 years old, escalating the foundation’s priority to support youth mental health as a fundamental priority in its mission to care for the well-being of children in Vermont.
