🎨 Congratulations to our talented young artists!

Aubreigh Campbell created the winning poster design for the 2026 Mill Race Marathon, while Krithik Ramachandran, just a third grader at the time, designed the winning Kids Fun Run T-shirt!

Pictured with Mill Race Marathon Committee member David Venable, these young artists helped make this year’s events extra special.

Healthy Communities is proud to co-sponsor the Kids Fun Run and celebrate the creativity of our local students. Congratulations, Aubreigh and Krithik! 👏

We loved joining CSA Fodrea Campus students and families for Walk to School Day today! 🚶‍♀️‍➡️🚶‍➡️🚶‍♂️‍➡️

Students gathered at McDowell and made the walk to school together- a fun way to start the day with movement, fresh air and friends. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen! 💚

A very special thank you to all our community partners and individuals who donated diapers in our first IMPACT diaper drive! Due to the overwhelming generosity of our partners and friends, we were able to donate over 5,000 diapers to agencies serving families in need. That’s double our goal! These diapers will be distributed at Love Chapel, Salvation Army and Turning Point. Thank you!!

A special shout out to our summer interns and senior project student who took this idea and ran with it. Way to hit one out of the park! Thank you for all your hard work!

Stay tuned for more to come on addressing diaper need in our community!

We’re so excited that we’re officially part of CRH Foundation now!
We’re still doing the same great work, and now we can align even more closely with our fundraising and philanthropy colleagues.

Did you know that nearly 1 in 2 Indiana families lacks enough diapers to send their children to childcare?

We're trying to collect 2,500 diapers for families in need and there are still a few more days to donate diapers! All diaper sizes are needed - infant through adult - but there is a specific need for child sizes 4, 5, and 6 as well as adult sizes.

You can help by donating new packs of diapers until September 18th at collection boxes located across Columbus at: Yes Cinema, Bartholomew County Public Library branches, AirPark Columbus, NexusPark, First Presbyterian Church, and Cummins COB.

These diapers will then be donated to organizations like Love Chapel, Salvation Army and others.
