The Brian O’Neill Jr. Foundation is honored and deeply grateful to be one of the recipients of this year’s Rotary Club of Martinsburg grants. At a recent luncheon hosted by the Rotary Club, we were awarded $3,000 to support our youth-focused mental health and suicide prevention efforts.

We are filled with gratitude to the Rotary Club for believing in our mission and investing in our work. These funds will directly impact our educational programs aimed at empowering students with the tools and confidence to support their peers who may be struggling. By providing training in peer intervention and mental health awareness, we hope to foster stronger, more compassionate communities—starting right in our schools.

This generous grant helps us continue our outreach and expand our programs, including initiatives like our My Village workshops, which create safe spaces for healing through creative expression, movement, and connection. Every dollar is a step toward saving lives and building hope.

We also want to extend our congratulations to the other incredible organizations who received support. It’s inspiring to be among so many doing powerful, life-changing work in the Martinsburg community.

Thank you, Rotary Club of Martinsburg, for your trust, your generosity, and for standing with us in our mission to prevent youth suicide and uplift those in need. Together, we are making a difference.
