Teri Muse 2020-2021 President of The Rotary Club of Arcadia

Teri Muse, a Past President of the Rotary Club of Arcadia, gave generously of her time and energy to promote community involvement, healthy families and accessibility to health resources. Teri's personal goal was to see an end to the stigma and fear of seeking help for emotional and mental illness. This walk-a-thon is a memorial to Teri who lost her battle with cancer in 2023. Just like she was a light to the members of The Rotary Club of Arcadia and to everyone who interacted with her, we hope to generate light into the darkness of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and fear.

We want everyone to know "You don't have to struggle in silence." A quote from Demi Lovato, an outspoken celebrity who shares her struggles and encourages speaking up and reaching out.

Teri Muse Walk-a-thon for Mental Health Awareness

Walk to raise awareness of the importance of self-care. This includes seeking resource and assistance to attain a healhy mindset and self-awareness.  

The funds raised will benefit the Arcadia High School's Wellness Center. The Center is an oasis and resource for students who may be overwhelmed by the pressures of an active cirriculum and busy lifestlye. One to one counseling and a safe space to destress is available at the Wellness Center. The space is open before school, during lunch, and 15-20 minutes after school. The Wellness Center is a light in the busy world of education and a sounding board where one can be heard.
