Hope Academies take part in JDRF walk

About 50 students, staff and families from Life Skills Centers, the Ohio & Distance Learning Academy and Hope Academies took part in the JDRF Walk Sept. 8 at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Museum in Canton.

Various fund-raisers were held, including raffles, weekly bingo games and a silent auction.

The auction featured tickets to the Ohio State-Kent State football games, a gift basket and a loge at a Lake Erie Monsters game.

DELA Division President Jay Brennan also donated $25 per walker.

All together, the schools raised about $1,300 to help fight diabetes.

Here is a video from the event.
