Prevent suicide by creating quality connections through
everyday conversations about mental health, by way of programs and partnerships.

We can’t change the past, but together we can affect the future!

Shout out to volunteers, Nicole Rattler and the entire Rattler Family!

Nicole Rattler and her family have been volunteering with LIVIN, since the first year of the LIVIN Music Festival. Their family has been affected first hand by suicide.

Nicole had this to say about volunteering with the LIVIN Foundation; “Here we are coming up on the 5th Annual LIVIN Music Festival and myself, my family, and my company have been blessed to not only set up and work the kids area but to be a part of it annually and give back to an organization that does so much for others and is so near and dear to our hearts. The memories & tears we have all shed together and the connections we have made have been incredible and long lasting. I feel so blessed to be a part of it and hope to continue to be for years to come.”

Thank you Nicole and the Rattler family for your continued support and dedication.
