Reliant Foundation is proud to be a funder of the
Nehoiden Black Bears Social Impact Series: Shattered Ice
at Mount Wachusett Community College in Gardner on June 17th @ 6:00pm. Tickets can be purchased at:
https://mwcc.universitytickets.com/w/event.aspx?id=1651

Starring: Charlie Gillespie, Kyla Kenedy, Sterling Beaumon, Kevin Chapman, Pat Shea with Jack Falahee and Matt Letscher.

Shattered Ice centers on a small-town New England teenage hockey player's attempt to navigate high school when his best friend dies by su***de.
Directed by Alex Ranarivelo and starring Charlie Gillespie in a stunning breakout performance, Shattered Ice explores the ties that bind us together in small-town communities and the courage it takes to share our deepest emotions in the world of sports.
The goal of the film is to normalize the conversations around su***de, raise awareness, tell a powerful story and send the message that there is light at the end of the tunnel, even in the most difficult and darkest times.
Let's continue to spark and normalize the conversation around mental health & su***de.
