Ever get that feeling of pure nostalgia when you see a rainbow parachute?

Check out this parachute, Roochute, that is making waves of kindness at major music festivals (e.g., Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Coachella), in the local community of Columbus, Ohio. The team at Roochute welcomes you to relive your favorite day in gym class, Parachute Day, and to take a moment to have meaningful conversations about your mental health and wellness in a safe space. Channelkindness Reporter, Katie Gormley met with Roochute co-founders Patrick Fromuth and Ron Holgado on the farm at Bonnaroo to discuss their mission to end the stigma around mental health.  “With each bloom, we encourage each person to ‘pay it forward’ – the happiness created underneath the parachute radiates through acts of kindness and positivity.” -Ron
