**In May 2019, at the age of 28, professional skateboarder Ben Raemers took his own life. The devastation and loss of such a beautifully contagious human being rippled across the world. Through seeing the sadness left behind and the desire from the community to support an ongoing project, The Ben Raemers Foundation was formed.

The overall aim of the foundation is to provide a way to maintain Ben’s legacy and help prevent anymore loss to suicide. Our aims are to enable the skateboarding community to have opportunities to develop the skills and tools needed to support each other to understand and address mental health. Suicide is a preventable death, so it’s something everyone can work together to do and save lives.

We have been overwhelmed by the support of the community through incredible fundraising events, brand alignments, individual donations and purchasing our merchandise. Due to this the foundation has accomplished some of the initial aims. These includes:

Creating social media content to raise awareness of mental health issues.
Making films highlighting skaters’ personal journeys in mental health.
Delivering suicide prevention training to skate teams and crews, managers, professional skateboarders, photographers and skate shops across the globe.
By creating a platform and safe spaces for people to talk about mental health within the context of the skateboarding world, we are breaking down fears, improving knowledge and changing preconceptions and misgivings around mental health stigma and taboos.

We welcome all ages, genders, and backgrounds to be part of making skateboarding a suicide safe community.

Ben will be remembered by all as a loving son, brother, friend, and skateboarding legend!
We hope to continue his inspiration through our work.
