We Hope to See You at Hero Day on July 31

We are excited to invite you to our annual Community Hero Day, which takes place on Friday, July 31, 2026 from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM at Broadmoor School, 8090 Broadmoor Road, Mentor, Ohio 44060.

Our goal is that this event will facilitate positive non-crisis interactions between first responders and individuals, with the expectation that these relationships will lead to stronger communication, trust, and better outcomes during crisis.

This event will bring together local fire departments, law enforcement, and individuals served by Lake County Board of DD/Deepwood in a fun, educational, and interactive setting. Featuring emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and police cars, along with hands-on activities, you will learn more about the important work our local heroes do!

We will also have food available, an ice cream truck, balloon animals, and so much more due to the support of 100+ Women Who Care (Lake County, Ohio), Deepwood Foundation, and community member Luke Farrell.

Bring your non-perishable food donations (such as coffee, peanut butter, jelly, and sugar) to Hero Dayo and fill Salvation Army’s new emergency canteen vehicle to help support local kids and families.

If you need more information or would like to RSVP, please email Heather.Neibecker@LakeBDD.org or call 440-350-5219.

This information is also included on the event flyer. To see highlights of last year’s Hero Day event, check out the Hero Day 2025 photo album on our Facebook page.
