What an incredible Day of Action at Victory Park in Pickerington today! 🎉

We were thrilled to come together with local agencies, community partners, volunteers, and families to celebrate the power of community and service. Events like these are only possible because of the generous support of our sponsors and partners who invest in making a difference year after year.

A special thank you goes to Nationwide Children's Hospital, our presenting sponsor for both today’s Pickerington Day of Action and our upcoming Lancaster Day of Action on June 26. Their continued commitment to supporting our communities helps make these meaningful events possible, and we are incredibly grateful for their partnership.

We also want to give a huge shoutout to Josh from IVP Media for keeping the energy high all day long! 🎶

The music brought so much fun and excitement to the event, and we loved seeing everyone enjoy the lively atmosphere he helped create. We can’t wait to welcome Josh and IVP Media back for our Lancaster event in just two weeks!

Thank you to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, IVP Media, our community partners, and everyone who joined us today. Your support, enthusiasm, and dedication are what make Day of Action such a special tradition. We look forward to seeing everyone again in Lancaster on June 26!

Support shouldn't feel like a maze; it should feel like a neighborhood.

That’s the meaning behind our Day of Action. We’re bringing Fairfield County together for a day where the barriers come down and the community steps up. While the kids are busy conquering the playground, families can bridge the gap to the local resources they deserve.

It’s more than an event; it’s about making sure every neighbor knows they aren't alone. Reach out to our team for more information.
