The Scurry
You're Invited to Scurry for Mental Health
Why We Scurry
Mental illness is a serious public health issue in Greater Cincinnati and across the nation, with 1 in 5 people (adults and teens) experiencing a mental health condition each year. Every year, TiER1 Performance joins forces with local business owners and community members to activate mental health awareness through a unique fundraiser called The Scurry. Since its launch in 2010, The Scurry has raised more than $450,000 for local mental health initiatives. The 2025 event benefited three local organizations that are working tirelessly to support people through their mental health journey:
The Lindner Center of HOPE
This center of excellence provides patient-centered, scientifically advanced care for individuals suffering with mental illness.
Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky
Also known as CHNK Behavioral Health, this organization offers support, opportunity, and hope for better lives for children and families.
Cincinnati Children’s Adapt for Life
This mental health program leads community resilience by providing tools for navigating stress and thriving to students grades K-12.

Lindner Center of HOPE
While mental illness has long been the nation’s No. 1 public health problem, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a substantial increase in reports of depression, anxiety, financial strain, social isolation, substance use, trauma-related symptoms, and suicidal ideation.
One in five Americans suffer from mental illness. Since 2008, Lindner Center of HOPE has served as a lifeline to tens of thousands who’ve struggled with mental illness or addiction. Mental illness and addiction can set those who struggle on a common journey in search of one thing: hope. Lindner Center of HOPE is entirely dedicated to hope—and finding the path forward. Offering a wide range of mental health services and treatments in an atmosphere that promotes long-term healing, the center is staffed by some of the nation’s best psychiatric experts and is distinguished as a psychiatric center of excellence for its breadth of expertise, depth of understanding, and empathetic, individualized patient care.
“Empathy and excellence are the foundations of everything we do at the Lindner Center of HOPE. Empathy is meeting the patient and their family wherever they are on their treatment journey. Excellence provides confidence in the results of our assessment and in partnering with the patient on their path forward in treatment.” -Paul R. Crosby, MD, MBA, President and CEO
Cincinnati Children's – Adapt for Life
ADAPT for Life (AFL) is a mental health and well-being program designed for students grades K–12, as well as for parents and teachers who support those students. AFL helps young people understand and identify the drivers that can lead to stress, including harmful and suicidal behavior. AFL is led by clinically trained facilitators and tackles topics on the continuum of mental health in an effort to close the gap in services for children and adolescents who may be struggling with mental illness. It also provides all students with helpful tools and skills using the ADAPT framework, so they may be able to help themselves and others.
The program uses interactive, experience-based learning to engage students and help them connect and apply lessons to their personal lives. AFL creates an ecosystem of support, which includes videos, mindfulness exercises, group activities, interactive surveys, moments of reflection, and workbooks to guide students in becoming more aware of what’s going on around them and help them learn they are not alone. AFL’s website also includes additional resources to help students and connect parents and educators to resource materials that complement the student experience.
Children's Home of Northern Kentucky
Established in 1882, Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky, also known as CHNK Behavioral Health, is a premier provider of behavioral health and substance use treatment services. Outpatient and residential services benefit individuals who have experienced mental health disorders, addiction, abuse, neglect, or other serious trauma.
