November Resiliency Rockstar

On November 2nd Road 2 Resiliency awarded Melody Halpin with the Resiliency Rockstar award. 

Melody led a fundraising campaign to keep the Dr. O.R Nevitt Memorial Swimming Pool in Raymond open for the 2020 summer. Thanks to her efforts, and generous donations from previous graduating classes, over $9,000 was raised! 

Our coalition preaches resilience for our youth and community. Heck, we are called Road 2 Resiliency!  The efforts led by Ms. Halpin undoubtedly brought resilience to our youth and community. In the face of a pandemic, she helped provide the continuance of a safe, prosocial opportunity for our youth. Let's not forget the positive impact this had on a local small business.

Here's what board member Tessa Clements had to say: 

"Although we are recognizing Melody for the quick thinking contest she pulled together to support the Raymond Pool through the month of September, it should be noted that Melody does more for this community than any one person should have the energy for.  Melody is the brainchild behind many great community fundraisers and supports that have become common place parts of our community that we tend to take for granted. She is always there to help come up with a solution to any problem and does it with the kind of joy and passion that a community like ours needs."

Thank you Melody! You are a true ROCKSTAR!​
