JPO FOUNDATION PRESENTS $10,000 CHECK TO UTMC DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY

The JPO Foundation was pleased to present a check on October 3, 2022 to the UTMC Department of Psychiatry that will help fund the new UT Center for Social Neuroscience that will study the social components of depression, suicide, and other psychiatric illnesses. Their work in particular will focus on the impact of educating and modeling healthy relationships for at-risk adolescents, their parents and those with whom they interact with the ultimate goal of increasing resilience to, and ultimately avoidance of the negative impact of abusive relationships on mental and physical health. We are thrilled to partner with UTMC on this initiative. Today would have been James's 37th birthday. Our hope is that all the funds we raise will keep another family, James's hundreds of friends, teammates, coaches, and colleagues from having to endure another tragedy like this.

JPO FOUNDATION PRESENTS $5,000 CHECK
​TO PROMEDICA TEEN PEP PROGRAM

Also on what would have been James's 37th birthday, the JPO Foundation is pleased to present a check to the ProMedica Teen PEP program. This program is designed to educate young people about important social matters and has been super successful for over 25 years here in the Toledo area. The program's message on educating students on healthy relationships and seeking crisis mental health care if needed, aligns perfectly with the goals and mission of the JPO Foundation. We were also able to award a $1000 scholarship to Teen PEP leader, Eric Fox, from Springfield High School, at the James Patrick O'Connell "It's All About Love' Charity Tennis Event with Luke and Murphy Jensen back on June 11. The JPO Foundation is a proud partner of this important program.  (Include Photo)
