JMU Alumna Destigmatizes Mental Health Through Nonprofit
Twelve people. Twelve stories. One show.
That’s what JMU alumna Jennifer Marshall (’01) had in mind when she launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $6,500 for her idea to host community-based theatrical experience that allowed people to share and hear personal journeys with mental health.
In 31 days, she raised over $10,000.
“We were just blown away by the people who stepped forward wanting to be a part of it,” Marshall said. “[We] put together a sellout show. We had nearly 400 people there at the very first show in Arlington, Virginia.”
