Donate On Behalf Of An Individual Or Team

TEAM JON honors the life and legacy of Jon Williams. Jon was an incredible family man, friend, and physician. September 1st marked 5 years since Jon lost his battle with depression, and we lost a loving husband and father. We miss Jon every day - his compassion, humor, contagious laugh, intelligence, and megawatt smile. Please walk with Team Jon on October 12 in the Walk for Hope, or make a donation. Together we can break stigmas, encourage dialogue, fund research, and bring awareness to difficult topics like depression and suicide. All earnings fund UNC grants for mental health research. We were humbled by last year’s support for Team Jon, and we’re eager to make an impact again this year.

With love and gratitude,
Carrie, Sarah, & Lily Williams
