Beaver County Bounces Back!

Beaver County – May 18th

Finally some amazing weather after weeks and weeks of rain and it couldn’t have happened on a better day or for a better event in Beaver County.

In an effort to raise awareness for mental health, and suicide prevention Beaver County hosted a free wellness event to raise awareness.

The local Beaver County Rage 10u travel softball team volunteered at the event as part of an effort by this league to give back to the community that does so much to support them. This rage team is made up of girls from the surrounding Beaver County area including; Hopewell, Aliquippa, Monaca, and Center Township, Beaver Falls, New Brighton, Wexford and Southside.

As part of their volunteer efforts the team helped man tables, run activities and support the Beaver County initiative in overall event support.

We all see the effect mental health issues have on our children, families and communities and the only way to fix the problem is to address it head on and we couldn’t be prouder of this travel softball team doing there part in the middle of their travel season to do something to give back!

Elisa Majors from the BCBH had this to say thanking the team for their efforts,
