EVECE—an acronym for Erin Victoria Edwards and Christopher R. Edwards II—was founded in loving memory of two vibrant souls whose light touched everyone they met. Chris and Erin were known for their illuminating presence, their kindness, and

the joy they brought to the lives around them.

We continue this work in their honor, driven by the belief that no one should have to struggle in silence. The EVECE Foundation is dedicated to changing the landscape of mental health care—delivering essential education, support, and resources to adolescents and adults navigating a world that too often remains siloed from true mental healing.

Our commitment is clear: to foster a world where mental well-being is valued and supported, where stigma is erased, and where all individuals—regardless of age or circumstance—can access the help they need to thrive. By addressing the mental health needs of our society, we hope to cultivate a future filled with happier, healthier, and more compassionate people.
