Richard Cameron and Judy Cameron Memorial Fund
Richard Cameron (Cameron's grandpa) passed away May 30, 2015 and Judy Cameron (Cameron's grandma) passed away November 5, 2015. In a true plus 10 fashion memorial funds we donated to the foundation. Richard and Judy both loved the golf outings and truly lived a +10 life style. Rich and Judy wanted nothing more than to make everyone feel welcome and cared for. They are missed. Through their memorial funds over $3000 were donated to the foundation which will continue to support our Youth Mental Health First Aid trainings.
4th Annual Cameron Carico Memorial Classic : October 3rd
Mark your calendars and start calling your foursome. CC+10 again is returning to Toad Valley for the fourth annual Cameron Carico Memorial Classic. The date has been moved back (mainly to give Tim, Justin and Mike more time to practice) so we can return to a Saturday time slot. Online registration again will be available through PayPal and will be opened up to everyone on the week of July 20th. The funds raised this year will be split between the YESS program and CC+10 so we can continue to provide Youth Mental Health First Aid training for teachers, coaches, and youth leaders all throughout central Iowa.
Alec Nigut demonstrating what it means to be +10
Alec Nigut is a friend of CC+10. As a service project in May Alec raised $250 for the foundation. It should be pointed out that Alex is a 7th grader. To show this kind of commitment and heart of service at a young age is truly amazing. Alec we thank you for your support and know you have a bright future.

Mental Health First Aid Training Course
The Cameron Carico Foundation is now sponsoring Youth Mental Health First Aid training courses for teachers all over Central Iowa. Our mission of healthy and happy families through suicide prevention and mental health education is reaching a new level. The Foundation has teamed up with local Youth Mental Health First Aid trainers to teach and certify teachers from Des Moines, Johnston, Waukee, I-35, SE Warren, Carlisle, Norwalk, Indianola, and Martsendale St. Mary's. CC+10 board members realize the important role teachers and coaches play in our children's lives and hope the training will help those "first responders" to better recognize the signs of mental health crisis.
Year one of our Youth Mental Health Training for a huge success and we have plans to further expand this into next year. If you have already attended a training we would love to hear from you.

2013 Cameron Carico Memorial Classic
Thank you to everyone who helped support the 2nd Annual Cameron Carico Memorial Golf Classic hosted by the Cameron Carico +10 Foundation. The day was a great success and we were able to raise over $10,000 to support our mission to “promote happy and healthy students and families in Central Iowa through suicide prevention and mental health education.” We had a full 143 golfers registered, and over 50 volunteers. Toad Valley provided a great atmosphere on Saturday.
We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to golf! The event started with the presentation of $4,000 to each of the benefiting organizations, Orchard Place and Polk County Suicide Prevention Coalition. Orchard Place’s mission is to develop strong futures for children and youth with mental health and behavioral challenges. Polk County Suicide Prevention Coalition focuses on education and outreach to the community through several active work groups.
Golfers enjoyed multiple challenges throughout the course that earned them +10 and gift cards such as the longest drive, closest to the pin and longest putt. To get the full experience of golfing with Cameron, a -10 hole was hosted where golfers won a special prize for hitting the ball in the water. Cameron was always able to turn a negative into a positive!
In addition to the monies raised by CC+10, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention was able to raise $1,640 from raffle tickets sold at the tournament and at the JHS vs. UHS football game.
We would like to again thank our sponsors, and to all who donated their time, money, and self. Overall, the support from the volunteers and golfers was outstanding. Planning has already begun for next year’s tournament and we hope to see you there!

National Suicide Awareness Week
We asked local high school students to participate in national suicide prevention week by wearing yellow and/or writing love on their wrist. Students at Johnston, Scavo and Southeast Polk joined together to raise awareness and to remember those who we have lost. Suicide is a hard topic to talk about but together we can break that stigma and help those in need. Remember to follow us on Twitter and Facebook as we plan for awareness events.
Finding Kind
The Kind Campaign is a recognized movement, documentary, and school program that is based on the belief in kindness. Finding Kind helps bring awareness and healing to the negative effects of girl-against-girl bullying. The founders Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson, both who have been affected by female bullying, created a documentary and non-profit organization that has affected hundreds and thousands of girls across America.
On September 27, 2012 the Kind Campaign came to Johnston Middle School. The assembly was held for freshman and eighth grade girls about girls bullying each other. The assembly opened with the founders Lauren, and Molly introducing the journey of the Kind Campaign. They spoke about their own experiences with girls bullying them while they were young. They also spoke of their experiences while they were on the road filming the documentary Finding Kind.
Secondly in the assembly the girls watched the documentary Finding Kind. The documentary displayed many emotional instances of girls bullying other girls all across the country. Lauren and Molly referred to the girls bullying other girls as “girl on girl crime.” The documentary helped open the eyes of many girls and showed them their “crimes” on other girls in the school. It helped them see what they had done to hurt others and how they needed to change themselves.
At the end of the assembly all of the girls took the Kind Pledge. The Kind Pledge is a pledge that talks about girls trying to end girl on girl bullying. All the girls read it aloud and signed their copy of the pledge. Everyone also wrote apologies to someone they had been mean to over the years. They were encouraged to say they were sorry and try to fix something that had happened. At the conclusion of the assembly the girls were told to hang their pledges up somewhere where they would be able to see it and think about it. They were also encouraged to give their apologies to the people they had wrote them to.
The Kind Campaign is an influential movement that is helping thousands of females across the country! It open eyes to the problems in my school and gave us the tools to know how to change ourselves. After, the assembly, I really saw a change in my school. People where more conscious of what they were saying and how their words might affect someone. The Kind Campaign really is a great thing and I am glad that Lauren and Molly are doing this. The Cameron Carico +10 Foundation was happy to help sponsor this event. The Kind Campaign aligns perfectly with our mission of happy and healthy families. We hope to continue to help bring in groups or speakers who share our values and beliefs.

Iowa Legislation Update
Led by Brian Carico, Cameron’s dad, and Senator Janet Peterson a bill was introduced to the senate. The
bill called for an act providing for training on suicide prevention and trauma-informed care for school
personnel. A non-legal summarization of the bill is it would provide mental health professionals, school
administration, educators and guidance counselors to receive training on suicide prevention and trauma
informed care prior to each license renewal.
The file was well received at first and was passed in the senate. As it moved on through the legislative system, it stumbled on the issue of how it was going to be paid for and monitored. While it failed to pass in
the house the issue of suicide prevention and trauma informed care was brought to the attention of our legislation. Representative Ron Jorgensen has agreed to work with the Department of Education for training that would not require legislation. While that is positive, it does not make the training
mandatory. UPDATE: The initiative has now passed as part of a new bill.

2012 Cameron Carico Memorial Classic
One of the many activities Cameron enjoyed was playing golf with his older cousins. Michael, Tim, Justin and Cameron would golf together every chance they could. The team of athletes lacked golfing skill, but the foursome grew closer through time spent together on the course.
The first annual CC Memorial was held in September 2012 at Bright-Grandview Golf Course in Des Moines. The course was packed with 144 golfers and over 30 volunteers. A great time was had by all, and the foundation was able to raise $11,000 for Iowa Health Student Assistance Program. The golf tournament is a yearly September event. Check out our pictures page to see photos of this year's Memorial Classic.
