On October 19th, Patrik Laine of the Columbus Blue Jackets announced which Central Ohio community effort he would be raising awareness and money for during the 2023-24 season. For every point he scores this season, Laine will donate $1,000 to the OhioHealth Foundation to provide mental health resources and support to the Columbus community.
“Good mental health is an important issue and one that is very personal to me as I have struggled with it myself at times,” said Laine in the team’s press release. “I’m proud to partner with the OhioHealth Foundation this season to raise money and awareness to support men in our community that may be struggling emotionally or psychologically and need help.”
OhioHealth provides comprehensive and personalized services for patients with mental health and behavioral disorders. Laine’s donation, managed by the OhioHealth Foundation, will be used to support men’s mental health services and programs throughout the region.
