PAX West, celebrated for its dedication to gaming and game culture, is set to draw over 120,000 attendees this year from around the globe. At this landmark event, Choose Mental Health will be hosting an interactive booth (booth 130) to engage with the gaming community to garner support for its mission and drive participation in its MindQuest LIVE fundraiser this fall.

Running from Sep. 15-Oct. 31, the third edition of MindQuest LIVE by Choose Mental Health will focus on raising funds to provide critical scholarships to youth in need of mental health treatment.
“We are excited to attend PAX West and deepen our engagement with the gaming community,” said Dan Pontius, President of Choose Mental Health. “This event offers a unique opportunity to rally a passionate group of creators to join us in challenging the stigma surrounding youth mental health and leverage their voices to drive positive change. We look forward to making impactful connections at PAX that can help us drive meaningful results together during MindQuest LIVE this fall.”
