What an incredible evening for mental health in Stark County! 💙
On May 19th, NAMI Stark County held a community fundraiser hosted by Main Street Bank, and we are still overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity shown by our community.
A very special thank you goes to JD Haavisto and JD's Gourmet HOT DOGS & More , who donated back 100% of the proceeds from hot dog sales to NAMI Stark County. Thanks to JD’s generosity, community donations, and support from our sponsors, we raised $1,713 to support free mental health education, advocacy, and support programs right here in Northeast Ohio.
Huge thanks as well to:
• LP3
• Laurie Nash & Main Street Bank Corp.
• John Allensworth
• Junior Vega & Vega's Intl. Entertainment
• And every single person who stopped by, donated, shared a laugh, or supported our mission.
For a small nonprofit doing important work, this kind of community support means everything. Thank you for showing up for mental health.
