Events That Move You
From Rock the Cause, to kickball tournaments, and the Angelversary Walk — Mission 34 events bring people together through energy, music, movement, and purpose. This is a community in action.
A NEW TYPE OF TOUGH
Where mental health is strength and everyone has someone in their corner.
Who We Are
We’re Here To Raise Each Other Up.
Mission 34 exists to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental illness through awareness, education, and ambassadors. Founded in 2019 in honor of Sean Bonner Jr., M34 started on a single college campus with one belief: people closest to the problem are the ones best positioned to solve it.
Today, M34 is a growing community of chapters, ambassadors, and supporters across the country — all united by the idea that strength comes from vulnerability, and that real change happens when people show up for each other.
We are a movement defining A New Type of Tough — instilling that speaking up is strength one campus, one community, one open conversation at a time.
Why We Started
Sean P. Bonner Jr.’s Story Didn’t End.It Became Ours.
Sean P. Bonner, Jr. was a son, a brother, a teammate, and a friend. He was the kind of person who made everyone around him feel like they belonged. In 2018, Sean’s family lost him—and with that loss came a question that would change everything:
What if everyone had someone standing with them through their hardest battle?
That question became Mission 34. Named for Sean ’s college baseball jersey number, Mission 34 was born from a family’s decision to turn pain into purpose, keeping others alive, connected, and seen.
Sean ’s story is our origin—and it keeps growing. Today, Mission 34 lives through every chapter meeting where a student says “this week was hard” and every event where someone realizes they are not alone. His legacy is alive in every open conversation. It’s a movement.
