We are still looking for tshirt sponsors for our September 12 Su***de Awareness Walk!

Here is a look at last year’s sponsorships that have made so much impact on our community throughout the year.

Thank you and hope to welcome all of you back this year! Final day for sponsorship is Sept 4.

Last year we expanded outreach in the biker community… this year we collaborate to reduce su***des in our senior population through the SCOPE Center, the development of postpartum depression outreach materials, and the Blue Jacket Corp program for Veterans. Help us help the tri-county area.

Thank you for consistent support, Hartford Orchards LLC, VFW Post 3767 Hubbard, Starz Counseling LLC Mack Industries and Penn Ohio Steel Hammerz and the former Heathen Crew from Steel Hammerz. who assisted selflessly for many years.
