Proceeds Benefit

A portion of this years proceeds will benefit Surviving the Teens, a program of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.

Thank you for your support. Thus far, donations have enabled Cathy Strunk, RN to visit 24 schools throughout Greater Cincinnati to talk to teens about depression and suicide, teach coping skills, and provide resources for assistance. Through the use of surveys, Cathy has been able to identify over 200 suicidal teens and provide them with help.

Last year's donations paid for the creation and printing of posters with hotline phone numbers which have been displayed throughout Cincinnati. Thank you for your continued support.
