Imagine…
A child struggling with overwhelming anxiety.
A parent fighting to overcome addiction.
A family desperate to help someone they love.

Now imagine…
Being the reason they find hope.

At the Fred Lang Foundation, we believe that financial barriers should never stand in the way of someone receiving the care, compassion, and support they deserve.

As the fundraising arm of Charlotte Behavioral Health Care (CBHC), we help provide vital mental health and substance use recovery programs for children, adults, and families throughout our community.

Our vision is simple but powerful:
A community where everyone has access to mental health care that changes—and saves—lives. Your generosity can change a life. Your compassion can change a future.

BE THE REASON SOMEONE FINDS HOPE.

BEHIND EVERY STRUGGLE IS A STORY WORTH SAVING.

Mental illness and addiction don’t discriminate. They affect our friends, neighbors, coworkers, and loved ones.

For many, financial hardship creates additional barriers to receiving the help they need.

That’s where your generosity makes a difference.

Through community support, the Fred Lang Foundation helps provide life-changing resources to some of our most vulnerable neighbors.

Because no one should have to face their darkest moments alone.

Your gift can be the beginning of someone’s brighter tomorrow.
