BOISE, Idaho - Boise State Athletics will showcase its BroncoBOLD program during the home men's and women's basketball games this week when the women host San Jose State (Wednesday, Feb. 19) and the men host New Mexico (Sunday, Feb. 23). All four teams will sport green patches on their uniforms to symbolize mental health awareness.

PacificSource Health Plans has partnered with Boise State to support BroncoBOLD through a matching gift. PacificSource will match up to $5,000 in donations to BroncoBOLD. Fans will have the opportunity to support the program via an in-game text-to-donate feature.

BroncoBOLD is a Boise State University student-athlete mental health initiative that spreads a message of hope, help and resiliency to the entire campus and greater community. BroncoBOLD champions the importance of mental health and wellness in all areas of life through the platform of sport. Through its three pillars of reducing stigma; raising awareness; and cultivating resiliency, the BroncoBOLD  program seeks to normalize conversations around mental health,  educate the campus and surrounding community on the realities of mental health issues and the resources available to address them, as well as build a support system that emphasizes the boldness we all possess.  

"Boise State does such a great job in the areas of mental health and wellness," said men's basketball head coach Leon Rice. "We're cutting edge on mental health and the resources that we provide for our student-athletes. Showcasing and growing the BroncoBOLD program is a priority for us because it makes a difference in the lives of every Bronco student-athlete beyond the field of competition."

"The importance of mental health and wellbeing can never be understated, and the advances being made in prioritizing it at Boise State have been great to see," said women's basketball head coach Gordy Presnell. Our student-athletes face many demands in their lives off the playing field, and it is so important that they have the resources provided to them here to be able to successfully handle those demands."
