The 4th Annual HOPE LIVES Fundraiser, Concert & Poker Run is happening Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025, at Hog Heaven in New Philadelphia! This is a FREE concert, so bring the whole crew! We’re thrilled to announce Disco Inferno as this year’s headliner! If you don’t know them, trust us—you’re going to want your boogie shoes. HOPE LIVES was created to raise awareness about suicide in our community while supporting prevention programs in local schools, throughout the community, and at SpringVale Health Centers. Every dollar raised helps bring hope and resources where they’re needed most. This is a two-part event: The Poker Run kicks off mid-morning, followed by live music in the evening: Wil Handrich – 4:00 PM Disco Inferno – 7:00 PM You’re welcome to join us for the whole day—or just come for the music! You don’t need to participate in the Poker Run to attend. Everyone is welcome! Expect live music, amazing food, a family-friendly vibe with activities for the kids... and of course, the Poker Run (map coming soon). Come spend the day with us and be part of something that makes a difference. This event was created by The Torqued Brotherhood, a group of local motorcycle riders who turned their grief into action after losing a close friend to suicide. Determined to make a difference, they partnered with SpringVale Health Centers to create this event—honoring those lost, supporting survivors, and raising awareness for suicide prevention. What began as a tribute has grown into a powerful movement, connecting the community to vital mental health resources while continuing their friend’s legacy.
