Let's get the Conversation started: It's ok to not be ok

Please join us for a MRF Beer Release Party on Sunday, 9/10 from 12:00-3:00 p.m. at Middle James

In support of National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, the Matias Rosado Foundation has partnered with Middle James Brewing to develop a special brew: "It's OK to not be OK", an Oktoberfest beer brewed for a purpose. Please join us in launching this special beer honoring Matias' legacy and helping others on Sunday, 9/10 at the Middle James Brewery located at 400 N. Polk Street, Pineville, NC. A portion of the proceeds will go towards the foundation's mission of supporting mental health initiatives and preventing suicide, but more importantly the launch continues to spread the message that "it's ok to not be ok" and promotes the 988 helpline.
