The Sherrard and Rockridge FFA chapters, and ‘Gray Matters’ chapters are teaming up for the fourth annual “The Mom Friend Project”, a suicide prevention and awareness fundraiser this Saturday, April 15, 2 – 5 p.m. at Rockridge High School.
There will be a speaker and several activities including; bingo, bags, crafts for Kids, rock painting, a silent auction, and more.
Money raised will be split between the two schools and used to support suicide awareness and prevention.
The Mom Friend Project began as a way to raise awareness for teen suicide following the tragic loss of Alyn Hall, Sherrard junior, in the fall of 2018.
