Sponsorship Opportunities

This truly extraordinary event wouldn’t be impossible without the support of our sponsors. Talking about mental health and suicide prevention is the only way to remove stigma and connect people with resources they need. This event brings together over 1000 health-minded Michiganders from Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor and surrounding communities.

We invite all sponsors to set up a booth on the field and take advantage of the opportunity to connect face-to-face with this wonderful community of professionals, students and families.

We have five levels of commitment that can work within most budgets.

We hope you will join us.

Making an Impact in our Communities

The mission of Citizen Yoga is to improve mental health and prevent suicide through personal growth and transformation. We’ve lived this mission every day since we opened our first studio in 2013. Yoga at the Big House is an annual celebration of our mission, where we bring together over 1,000 community members to normalize conversations about mental health and suicide, and to speak openly with those most affected.

Each year, this event evolves to support mental health in the ways our community needs it most. Together, we will fundraise for two local non-profit organizations, Garrett’s Space and TRAILS to Wellness, that directly support mental health and prevent suicide among youth and young adults in our community.

2026 Beneficiaries

Mission: Garrett’s Space is dedicated to reducing suicides and filling critical gaps in supportive care options for young adults ages 18 to 28 facing mental health challenges. 

Many young people feel alone, overwhelmed, or unsure about seeking formal treatment. Few places feel safe, welcoming, and free of stigma. Our programs are built for young adults who are struggling and are interested in a support option with a non-institutional feel. A suicide prevention program where young adults ages 18-28 with depression and anxiety find community, tools, and a place to belong.

Vision: TRAILS to Wellness is committed to creating tools for equitable access to mental health services for all children and teens.

TRAILS (Transforming Research into Action to Improve the Lives of Students) was launched in 2013 for school staff who wanted better tools to help their students cope with depression and anxiety. Today, an independent 501(c)3 with a demonstrated impact and an ever-expanding footprint. TRAILS serves more than a thousand schools nationally through formal partnerships, and open-access materials are downloaded more than 200,000 times annually worldwide.

TRAILS is a non-partisan, non-political organization, founded on the premise that all young people deserve access to effective mental health services. They seek to go where work is needed, recognizing that every community is impacted by today’s national youth mental health crisis.
