The GEAR UP Back-to-School Wellness Bash was a success! The GEAR UP program provides college access to the students of Mt. Healthy and North College Hill High Schools ensuring that when they graduate, they have the information and skills needed to thrive in college. The Wellness Bash was a kickoff to all the work the GEAR UP team and students will do this year. The event brought together Mt. Healthy and the neighboring communities to ring in the new school year with wellness resources, entertainment, free activities, resume assistance, school supplies, free haircuts and so much more! Organizations like Beech Acres, Best Point Behavioral Health, Cincinnati Works, Kona Ice, FCC Cincinnati, Tikkun Farm, UC Health, Cinfed Credit Union, 1N5, and Cincinnati Fire Department all came out to pour their knowledge and resources into the members of the community.

It was an amazing time to come together and have some fun in light of the new school year. A special thanks to Vituity Cares for sponsoring this event and to everyone who came out and had a great time.

Good luck this school year!
