What is the Mile of Quarters, anyway?!

The Mile of Quarters is an event benefiting the Community Health Center (CHC). At CHC, we believe that the best way to prevent addiction is to educate parents and kids about the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, and the Mile of Quarters promotes this important family issue. All donations received at this event stay in Summit County and are used to educate children about the effects of drug and alcohol abuse.

CHC has made a commitment to promote programs that provide families with the necessary information and skills for dealing with the problems associated with substance abuse. The proceeds from the Mile of Quarters will be used to supplement programs such as: Project PANDA, Adolescent Counseling Services and other prevention education in our community.
