Help us give back! A portion of the proceeds go to Blessings in a Backpack. 100% of the proceeds from the donation page (click the donate button above) go to Blessings in a Backpack.

The Blessings in a Backpack program in Marysville, Ohio, provides non-perishable food every week throughout the school year for children who might benefit from supplemental nutrition. We currently serve five elementary schools — Edgewood, Mill Valley, Navin, Northwood, and Raymond — as well as Creekview Intermediate School. Every ‘blessing’ bag we send home for the weekend includes, at minimum, two breakfast items, two entree/protein items, and two healthy snacks. We also send extra items home for long weekends and extended breaks to help keep bellies full until kids return to school. We are 100% community-funded, meaning we couldn’t do what we do without the support of individuals, groups, churches, businesses, and organizations committed to ending childhood hunger and food insecurity alongside us. Thanks to the generous support of our community thus far, we’ve been able to serve anywhere from 140 to 285 kids per year since we started in 2012, and we are committed to standing in the gap for families in Marysville, Ohio, for many years to come.

September 7-13, 2025 is National Suicide Prevention Week, which is the opportunity to shine a special encouraging light & awareness on the topic that affects all walks of life. It sends out a clear message that there is hope and support is available. Suicide for middle-aged people, especially men, have the highest rate of suicide compared to other groups. 80% of all deaths by suicide in the U.S. are among men and women age 45-54. Men ages 85 and older have the highest rate of any group in the country as of November 8, 2022.

This race benefits the Knox County Suicide Prevention Coalition, a non-profit, charitable organization that is dedicated to the reducing the rate of suicide in Knox County and connecting those at risk with resources and support. The volunteer-based organization offers grief support, information on available resources and referral to community services. Knox Couty Suicide Coalition is holding its 15th annual 5k/10k walk/run on September 20th at Ariel Foundation Park, starting at 5:00 P.M.

We will also be lighting the tower and bridge as a memorial to those we’ve lost at approximately 7:15 P.M. Families and friends are encouraged to bring a picture of their loved one to share.

The walk & run is for suicide awareness, for those who have lost a loved one, for those who are suffering, and for those who want to remember. We are asking you to join us in making a difference in our community. We want to start the conversation about suicide. We strive to make this difficult topic into a common conversation subject and destigmatize the shame and guilt associated with suicide and mental health. We invite walkers, runners, joggers, dogs, and strollers of all ages to come out and participate. Even if you can’t join in the race, come support a great cause and start the conversation. Funds raised from this event will provide the education needed to identify the common causes of suicidal behavior, the warning signs, and how to help someone in crisis.
