The Mercy Health Foundation's annual Red Door Gala raised money to support a new adolescent behavioral health program that aims to expand mental health services for youth in the Lima area.
The Mercy Health Foundation presented the Wapakoneta Area Community Foundation with a donation of $2,000. The money raised came from Mercy Health employees. They had the option to dress casual on Fridays and make a donation in return. Each summer month a donation was made. Delphos Christmas Community Project and Putnam Community Foundation were gifted money as well. The Wapakoneta Area Community Foundation plans to use the money for organizations that provide students with grants.

As a professor at the Ohio State University Lima, he has also helped students progress in their academic career. He believes it's very important to serve the community.
