The Philadelphia Phillies are dedicating the month of May to mental health awareness with a series of special events under their "Strike Out the Stigma" program. Presented by Park Avenue Worldwide, the initiative will feature activities both at Citizens Bank Park and throughout the local community.

The team aims to use its platform to highlight the importance of mental well-being and encourage open conversations. Throughout the month, the Phillies will host several events designed to support fans, players, and staff. The program focuses on breaking down barriers and removing the shame often associated with seeking help for mental health issues.

By bringing these efforts to the ballpark and into neighborhoods, the Phillies hope to reach a wide audience. The "Strike Out the Stigma" campaign is part of a larger, ongoing commitment by the organization to address mental health. The team believes that by sharing resources and fostering a supportive environment, they can make a real difference in the community. Fans attending games in May can expect to see special messaging and activations that reinforce the importance of mental wellness and remind everyone that they are not alone.
