Over $37,000 raised for Youth Mental Health Programs

On Saturday, February 1, 2025, more than 180 attendees gathered at Rustic Ridge Wedding Barn in New Philadelphia for Unmasking the Stigma, an evening dedicated to supporting youth mental health programs in the Tuscarawas and Carroll regions.

The event featured a keynote address from Tony Coder of the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation, emphasizing the importance of mental health awareness and early intervention. Guests also participated in silent and live auctions, which—along with additional contributions—helped raise approximately $37,300 to fund critical services for at-risk youth.

Proceeds from Unmasking the Stigma will directly support the launch of Expressive Arts Therapy, providing young individuals with creative outlets to process emotions, build resilience, and heal.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to ProVia, our Auxiliary Board, and all our guests for making this night a success. Your generosity is helping to break the stigma surrounding mental health and provide life-changing resources to youth in need.
