Join us for the first annual Edward’s Ride for Mental Health Awareness, a motorcycle ride and community event to raise awareness about mental health resources and benefit Crystal House Clubhouse. Dozens of individuals in the Gardner area visit Crystal House weekly to find peer support, gain skills for employment, education, or daily living, and know that they are valued. This ride is in memory of Edward Landry, who passed away in May 2024. This event will honor Edward’s legacy and help others struggling with mental health challenges. 

This ride is being organized in partnership with Crystal House and Open Sky Community Services, a human services agency serving over 8,000 people throughout Central Massachusetts.
