First, the Dragonfly Foundation of Cincinnati was formed by Christine & Jim Neitzke after their 10 year old son was diagnosed with blood cancer and found little support for families to deal with the diagnosis, navigating the system, and more importantly, the families practical needs. Spokesperson Caroline Degroft explains how the non-profit supports pediatric cancer patients and their families throughout their journey.
Then, World Teen Mental Wellness Day is a nationwide event to educate high school students about the available resources and destigmatize the need for emotional help. The Joe Burrow Foundation is joining with Bethesda, Inc. to fund $500 grants to every high school in the tri-state who applies for it, to create an awareness program for their students and observe the day March 2, 2024.
