Genesis: Pathways to Success, East Indiana Area Health Education Center, and Dr. Beth Trammell of Make Words Matter For Good have developed and launched a virtual training program to provide mental health and trauma-informed resources for school personnel designed to support the mental health needs of educators and students during the pandemic and throughout the school year.

"This fund (The Matthew Paul Obendorf Memorial Soccer Fund) is used to aid soccer players with athletic participation fees and supplies on an individual basis. The students who need the additional help with personal items have been able to participate thanks to the generosity of the Ripley County Community Foundation and Matt’s family."

"Thank you for your gracious contributions to the Rube Goldberg contest. Through your sponsorship you’ve allowed our team to have fun, fond memories, and a machine to be proud of."
