Crowdfunding for: PLAY ON! Project Details

Our project, entitled 'PLAY ON! How can a sport program better the lives of young people with mental illness? ' has been chosen to be part of a mental health grant challenge through Experiment. The funding campaign just launched on January 10. Experiment.com works on an all-or-nothing funding model. We have 30 days to reach our goal of $6,000. Backers won't be charged unless we reach that goal. We have already raised 34% of our goal in the first week and hope to keep this momentum going! 

Interested in being part of this project? You can by:

  1. donating directly athttps://experiment.com/sport
  2. sharing the link (https://experiment.com/sport) with other friends and colleagues through email, Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
  3. checking back often as we we will be posting lab notes on the progress
  4. sharing your feedback on the project itself, or letting me know if you are doing similar work so we can chat
  5. asking any questions you may have (either directly though e-mail or via the discussion board on Experiment)

I really encourage you to check out the tool and think about if any of your work could be funded this way. Experiment is all about creating a community – just think of all the amazing work this listserv could get off the ground if we band together! Side note – I just found out from Dr. Michael Sachs that AASP offers an incentive for us to engage in crowdfunding – check it out: http://www.appliedsportpsych.org/foundation/aasp-f-research-crowdfunding/

Thank you for your valuable time and support!  Be well,  Lauren  Lauren Brooke, M.A.  PhD Candidate School of Physiotherapy and Exercise Science Curtin University  [email protected]
