The Defensive Line is hosting our first ever Goal Line Giving Virtual Auction! Join us in supporting our mission to end the crisis of youth suicide. Every bid is a step forward in making a difference. Let’s score big together—get ready to bid, win, and change lives!

Founded following the loss of our beloved Ella Thomas, The Defensive Line seeks to help build a world in which no young person of color dies by suicide. Your participation in Goal Line Giving provides crucial support for our lifesaving work - suicide prevention trainings, expanding program development, and mental health advocacy. The Thomas family believes that telling their truth through shared experiences can help reduce stigma and create connections that save young lives.

Our hope in the power of impactful connections is the heart behind Goal Line Giving. The Thomas family is thrilled to share with you a curated selection of items that reflect some of their most cherished moments with people they love in the places they hold dear. Participants can expect a wide array of unique auction items, including autographed sports memorabilia, private experiences with NFL stars, luxury vacations, and wellness packages.

We are so grateful for the generosity of our community who helped make Goal Line Giving a reality, and who support us in our fight against youth suicide every day. We invite you to join us in carrying on Ella's legacy - ordinary people reaching out in love and compassion building lifesaving connections.

"This auction is not just about raising funds—it's about raising hope. Every bid helps us reach more young people with the support they need, and together, we can create a world where no young person has to face the darkness of mental health challenges alone." - Co-Founder Solomon Thomas
