Team Chili Peppers Team Chili Peppers: Walking with Purpose, Fueled by Hope

Team Chili Peppers is a passionate group of people united by one powerful belief: mental health matters. We come together to honor those we’ve lost to mental illness, to support those who are still fighting, and to inspire real, lasting change.

For over a decade, we’ve walked with determination—raising more than $108,900 for the Foundation of Hope to fund critical mental health research and awareness efforts. Our mission is to educate, break the stigma, and build a future where mental wellness is prioritized and protected.

Every step we take is for those who can’t. Every voice we raise is for those who feel unheard. Because while one person can spark change, together we are unstoppable.

Join Team Chili Peppers. Walk with us. Speak out. Stand up. Let’s make mental health matter—together.

Why am I fundraising?

Team Chili Peppers About Team Chili Peppers
Team Chili PeppersTeam Chili Peppers is a group of individuals who want to make a change and believe MENTAL ILLNESS MATTERS. We come together and walk for those who lost their lives to mental illness and to help support those who are dealing with mental illness today. Our goal is to educate people, eliminate the stigma, and help fund scientific research. Over the last twelve years we have raised $108,900.00 for the Foundation of Hope! Please join our team in the fight against mental illness. Each one of us can make a difference, together we make change!

As many of you know, Christine and I lost our son, Mark, to mental illness on January 8, 2013. Mark was a unique individual with an infectious smile, a kind spirit and a passion for equality. His humor lit up a room full of people and his opinions about social justice either made you question your own thinking or left a burning sensation in your body, like a CHILI PEPPER! Our daughter, Jessica, originated TEAM CHILI PEPPERS in October 2013 when Christine and I joined Jessica for the WALK FOR HOPE. This is our 13th year participating in the WALK. In our first year, Christine, Jessica and I raised $1910 for the Foundation of Hope and its support for research and treatment of mental illness. Each year our team has grown in participation and funds raised. Since 2013 TEAM CHILI PEPPERS total donations have exceed $108,900 for the WALK.
