Successful Concert
The sixth annual Particle Accelerator concert fund-raiser raised more than $5,000 to support continued mental health first aid training and raise awareness and understanding to break the stigma of mental illness that prevents people from seeking help. Particle Accelerator began in response to the suicide of local youth and musician Jack Young Jr., aka “The Legendary Jack Young Jr.” All funds raised go to United Services, Inc. of Dayville to support their mission of providing “an effective response to the youth, family and adult social and behavioral health needs in its community.” Some programs Particle Accelerator has supported are the 24 Hour Emergency Hotline and the Mental Health First Aid Training course. More than 1,000 attended the concerts throughout the day at Rotary Park. Courtesy photo.
