33 FOREVER TO HOST MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WALK IN MANSFIELD
Mansfield mental health nonprofit 33 Forever will host the first-ever 33 Forever Mental Health Birthday Walk in downtown Mansfield on May 22. This family-friendly awareness walk and fundraiser will start and finish at Mansfield’s Richland Carrousel Park with a 3.3 km (2 mile) route around the downtown area. The walk will begin at 11:33 am with check-in and registration starting at 10:33 am. Event sponsors include Rick and Carol Taylor, Spherion, Edge Plastics, OhioHealth, Richland Source, DRM Productions, POSM, Mechanics Bank and the Gesouras Family.
“The inspiration behind 33 Forever, Dani Leedy, was born in May and May is, of course, Mental Health Awareness Month so we are excited to bring a new mental health awareness event to the Mansfield area this month,” says Donna Heck, 33 Forever President. “We hope that this will be a fun family event that will allow folks the chance to get out and enjoy the outdoors together and do something for a good cause.”
Individuals, families and groups are encouraged to register and walk together. Fun and entertainment options at the end of the walk in the Carrousel area will include free carrousel rides for walkers and their families, magic, balloons, music, food and drink options as well as information booths from local mental health organizations. Walkers should register in advance at www.33forever.life to ensure getting event t-shirts but registration will be available the day of the event, as well. Registration for individual walkers is $33 and family units are $66. See the 33 Forever website for more details.
