MEG's
2025 primary beneficiary:
Meg’s Gift is proud to partner with Compeer Rochester as our 2025 beneficiary because we share a deep commitment to supporting individuals facing mental health challenges through connection, hope, and community inclusion. Compeer’s vision aligns with our mission to promote mental health awareness and provide meaningful support to those in need. By working together, we can help foster social inclusion, early intervention, and opportunities for individuals to live, learn, and thrive. This partnership embodies the belief that no one should struggle alone, reinforcing the power of human connection in the journey toward healing.
"her smile mirrored her soul."
Throughout her life, Megan Elizabeth Garbach was an emulation of compassion, giving and kindness. She unabashedly shared these gifts with each person she met. When Megan tragically lost her battle with depression in 2014, her family and friends promised that the manner of her death would not define how she was known in life. Instead, they wanted to ensure that the gifts Meg so freely gave to the world during her lifetime were her legacy.
