Keeping the 9 Alive, August 4th
The FUDGE Foundation is planning an event to commemorate the anniversary of the Dayton Mass Shooting that claimed the lives of nine individuals and forever changed the lives of many members of our community.
They will be honoring those who were taken on Wednesday, August 4th, 2019, starting at 6pm in front of Blind Bob’s. There will be community leaders present to speak about gun violence and the danger it presents in our communities, a raffle contest with prizes donated from Mad River Adventures, Winans, movie tickets and many more, a candle lighting service, music and prayer as well as nine-minutes of silence to honor the victims who were fatally shot that night.
Resource guides to support those who are victims of trauma, such as mental health and support group information will also be available.
They invite the entire Dayton Metro community to join together at Blind Bob’s on August 4th to show their love and support for the families and individuals that have been affected by this senseless violence, as well as to seek out meaningful solutions to these shared problems.
The FUDGE Foundation is a non-profit organization that seeks to help individuals that are impacted directly and indirectly by mass shootings, violence, human trafficking, domestic abuse and other forms of trauma. Founded, by Dion Green, out of love and the memory of his father, Derrick Fudge.
