After every home game, Bryan Rust meets with young people through @FriendsStutter, offering support, sharing his story, and building community. His impact has reached beyond Pittsburgh, inspiring others, like @AnaheimDucks' Leo Carlsson, to do the same. pens.pe/3FHtfFV

For the past two years, Rusty’s words made an impact on Cameron, teaching him to embrace his confidence. This year, Cam wanted to share how much those words changed him. “Thank you for pushing me to being confident and sharing that nothing can stop me” Thank you, Rusty! 🖤💛

We’re giving away a ✨Habit guitar ✨ !!! Our friends at @BilTGuitars made a very unique guitar with a Habit inside of it, and we’re going to give that away to raise some money for @FriendsStutter! @FriendsStutter is an organization providing resources and assistance to young people who stutter. It’s a very important organization to me and I want to do my part to keep it strong now that its founder, Lee Caggiano, has sadly passed on. So here’s how you can support AND enter the Habit guitar raffle: 1.) We recommend donating to friendswhostutter.org/ 2.) Email chaseblissdonations@gmail.com with proof of donation OR write a short note on how you can be an ally to those who stutter (check out friendswhostutter.org for ideas). That’s it. Anyone in the world can participate. We’ll keep a spreadsheet of everyone who enters, randomly select a winner, and reach out to the winner via their email after the giveaway ends (April 3rd 11:59pm CT). Other details: No purchase necessary for entry. No multiple entries allowed. If you get a message from some account other than this one about the giveaway, it is spam. Do not give out your credit card information. This giveaway is in no way affiliated, administered, or sponsored by X.

Regardless of political affiliations, we will continue to remind people that people who stutter, as well as anyone with speech differences and disabilities, have a right to live without this familiar and disrespectful mockery and humiliation. tinyurl.com/NytimesStutterin…

Voice AI technology like Siri often does not work for people who stutter. Funded with a $5 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, a team from Friends, MSU, and WMU has set out to change that with an app called HeardAI. Read more: tinyurl.com/2y3cxcur
