Thumbs Up Mission
Bringing awareness to mental health and providing support and resources to all.
Thumbs Up Vision
To impact communities so that all people who struggle with mental health can live healthy and fulfilling lives.
How we Began
Thumbs Up was founded in 2014 by several community members in honor of two great men, Bob Schmit and Chuck Dahlheimer, who, like many others, took their lives after living in silence from a mental illness.
“Bringing awareness to mental health and providing support and resources to all.”

THIS IS HOW WE’LL ACHIEVE OUR MISSION
- Kickstart meaningful conversations via our THUMBS UP apparel.
- Encourage social connectedness via our community outreach events.
- Drive awareness via carefully selected relationships with individuals and organizations.
- Bring the brightest minds together to inform, educate & teach coping skills for those who struggle with a mental illness.
