GRAFTON – The Oddball Foundation is gearing up for the second annual Michael Cherry Memorial Walk on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Grafton High School.
The walk was created in honor of Michael S. Cherry, an Army Reserves member who died from a battle with depression and anxiety.
Organizers will be reading the names of all of those lost and honoring them in their memory throughout the event.
Registration for the event is $25 per person, with all proceeds being distributed between the Cherry Family Scholarship, Kiva Center, Wildflower Alliance and the Oddball Foundation.
The Kiva Center and Wildflower Alliance are both nonprofit organizations that specialize in peer-support advocacy and training with a focus on harm reduction and human rights.
The Oddball Foundation — a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization working to increase mental health advocacy by giving back to the community and promoting diversity and inclusion — focuses on social justice and mental health advocacy on airways, through art, literature, and media through Oddball Magazine and the Oddball Show podcast.
A scholarship established in Cherry’s memory will be awarded to a Grafton High School student or students who have lost a parent/guardian.
