Young shared their views and pretty excited for the musical festival,
"We felt stronger and better than ever that we are making a real difference in the community, that we partnered with outstanding organizations, and music is the great uniter in people, At a music festival, we are all in it together. Now we are destigmatizing mental health issues. You may have issues but that doesn’t make you a weird person or uncommon, it just is what it is. There’s help available."
