LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A Louisville area basketball player continues to shine a spotlight on breaking the stigma around mental health.
Former Eastern High School hoops standout Trey Moses on Saturday hosted the third annual “Be the Reason” celebrity game.
Peyton Siva, Nolan Smith, Ray Spalding, Pedro Bradshaw, Scott Davenport, Tony Williams and Grace Berger were among those playing, coaching and supporting 24 Reasons.
Its the charity Moses started in honor of his friend and Ball State teammate Zach Hollywood, who took his own life in college.

“We were really trying to preach that this is more than a basketball game,” Moses said. “It’s bringing the community together in a way that’s helping them understand they all have stories too.”
Moses is now using his platform to inspire young athletes and the community to continue to talk about their mental health.
The celebrity game gives kids a chance to see players they grew up admiring while bringing the community together for a bigger cause.
“(Mental health) is something that isn’t talked about until it’s too late,” Moses said. “Unfortunately, we lost Rondale Moore this summer. For me, that’s one that everyone looks at and says, ‘he’s an NFL player, how did this happen?’ But at the end of the day, we’re all people too.”
Moses also announced that 24 Reasons is now partnering with the Kevin Love Foundation to further their efforts to support young athletes in physical and mental health.
