Ohio Stadium Field Cover
Summer Concert
The First Responder Face-Off was tasked with installing and removing the protective field covering at Ohio Stadium in exchange for a sizable donation to the Foundation. Thank you to all of the volunteers, Columbus Police Hockey, Columbus Fire Hockey and especially to our friends at the Columbus Ice Hockey Club for helping us achieve this goal!

Columbus Police – AED Donation
The Columbus Police Bicycle Unit identified the need for Automated External Defibrillators for the Unit. With recent cardiac emergencies during marathons and large scale events, often times Bicycle Officers are first on the scene with their ease of maneuvering through crowds. The request fit our Safety, Health & Wellness initiative and we were happy to donate four units that were deployed for Red, White & Boom 2018.
