About
Support Drewfest 2026
Our fellow Byndie, Julie Randall, founded Drewfest in Madison, Wisconsin, in honor of her brother-in-law Andrew, who died by suicide in 2015.
What began as a fundraiser has grown into a community event focused on mental health awareness, education, connection and hope. In just our first two events, Drewfest has raised more than $100,000 to support mental health programs and resources in the community.
This year, Drewfest is putting an even greater emphasis on youth and young adult mental health, early intervention, and giving young people the tools and support they need to navigate life before reaching a crisis.
The third annual Drewfest will take place on October 18th, 2026, and we’d love the support of our Bynder community. Every donation, big or small, helps us continue these important conversations, support local mental health initiatives and remind people of one simple but powerful message:
Every mind matters.
