HEROES United: Standing Against Bullying
Our Mission
The mission of HEROES Against Bullying is to educate children and adults on the importance of bullying prevention while also providing funding to organizations within the community that are fostering the H.E.R.O. mindset to our youth, which is to be Helpful, Encouraging, Respectful, and Open to others.
To date, $20,000 has been raised, and funds have been distributed to six regional organizations that align with our mission. In addition, five high school seniors have been awarded scholarships to further their education.
