East Aurora Faculty, Staff & Alumni Raise Money for Crisis Services in Memory of Beloved Teacher
On March 2, 2012 East Aurora Faculty, Staff and Alumni went head to head in their 3rd annual hockey tournament. This year’s event was called Hockey for Hope. All proceeds raised from the event were split between Crisis Services and a scholarship fund established for Madison Raab, in the memory of her father and East Aurora’s beloved history teacher Mr. Al Raab The tournament consisted of four games. The first game was against the High School team and the Alumni team (last year’s championship contenders). The High School battled a tough Alumni team to win the first game. The second game was played by the Middle School team and the Parkdale Elementary team. It was an intense game between the two rivals but Parkdale was victorious in the end. A quick halftime included an amazing dance team, followed by 
the consolation game played between the Middle School and Alumni team, which the Alumni team won. The fourth and final game was the championship game played by Parkdale and the High School. The High School team won for the first time, highlighted by a remarkable goaltending display by John Hycner.
A total of $5162.40 was raised by an incredible group of volunteer teachers, staff and alumni for this amazing event. The money collected came from ticket sales, a penny drive at the Middle School, t-shirt sales and concessions. The event was sponsored by the Class of 2014’s Executive Board and advisor Mrs. Yuhnke. Many thanks go out to all the Faculty Members, Students and the MS Spirit Club who all contributed greatly! Crisis Services was very humbled to be one of the recipients of this remarkable outpouring of spirit and hope.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Join Crisis Services in calling on the community to help the 1 in 4 American adults who live with a diagnosable, treatable mental health condition and understand how important mental health is to overall health. While mental health conditions are common, they are extremely treatable and individuals go on to recover and lead full and productive lives. Too many people who are living with a mental health condition never seek or receive help due to stigma, lack of information, cost, or lack of health care insurance coverage—as high as 50 percent. Crisis Services wants to change the equation and help individuals, families, friends and co-workers who may be reluctant to ask for help or don’t know where to find it.
