Lindner Center of Hope to Benefit from Scurry for Mental Health 

The Scurry celebrates 15 years of fundraising for local mental health initiatives. 

On Friday, September 25, 2026, TiER1 Performance will join forces with local business owners and community members to activate mental health awareness in the Covington and Cincinnati regions through The Scurry, celebrating 15 years of fundraising for serious causes through serious fun. Lindner Center of Hope is one of three beneficiaries of the fundraising effort.

This year’s event promises to be the most fun you can have on a Friday afternoon in Covington. The day will start with a friendly team competition (think CBS’s The Amazing Race), offering local organizations the perfect team-building opportunity. Teams will “scurry” to and from challenge stations throughout Covington where they compete to solve puzzles, answer local trivia, and complete challenges for bragging rights. Following the competition, TiER1 and event partners will host an after party at Covington Yard, which will be open to the community and feature music, food, beverages, games, and more. You do not need to participate in the team competition to attend the after party; all are welcome!

Mental illness is a serious public health issue in Greater Cincinnati and across the nation, with 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental health condition each year. All proceeds from this year’s Scurry event will benefit three local organizations that work tirelessly to support people on their mental health journey: Lindner Center of Hope, OneQuest Health (formerly CHNK Behavioral Health), and the ADAPT for Life and Zero Suicide programs at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. 

“Through our commitment to reducing stigma around mental health in the workplace, our impact extends beyond our own organization to those we collaborate with. By hosting The Scurry and offering mental health–focused programs, we’re helping show that prioritizing well-being is essential for both individuals and organizations to thrive,” says TiER1 President Katie Frey.

TiER1 invites the entire community to join in this incredible partnership of organizations and individuals. Since its launch in 2010, The Scurry has raised more than $500,000 for local community efforts, including mental health initiatives.
