Kevin Hines

Survivor, Suicide Prevention Advocate

In the Year 2000, Kevin attempted to take his life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Many factors contributed to his miraculous survival including a sea lion which kept him afloat until the Coast Guard arrived. Kevin now travels the world sharing his story of hope, healing, and recovery while teaching people of all ages the art of wellness & the ability to survive pain with true resilience.

His motto: #BeHereTomorrow and every day after that.

Kendrick Bourne

Arizona Cardinals Wide Receiver, SUD Awareness Advocate

Kendrick grew up around faith, but much of his early NFL career was marked by a fast-paced lifestyle centered on partying, nightlife, and excessive drinking and drug use. A pivotal spiritual moment led him to deepen his commitment to his faith, prompting him to walk away from the habits that had defined that period of his life.

Since then, Kendrick has leaned fully into his spirituality. He no longer drinks alcohol or uses drugs, and since 2022, he has gotten married, prioritized his family, and used his platform to serve others through charitable work and by sharing his testimony with teammates.
