HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR MISSION
Ace the Stigma is committed to elevating mental health conversations to the same level of importance as physical health. In 2025, the organization expanded its giving across six local nonprofit beneficiaries, made possible through the compassion and generosity of sponsors and the community. The ATS team takes pride in its impact, having donated nearly $500,000 in less than three years to support mental health education, suicide prevention, and treatment throughout the Charlotte region. As we look ahead to the 2026 CLT Tennis Memorial Event, those interested in learning more about the experience can refer to the 2025 CLT Event Recap.
