On Saturday, May 5th, Mechanicsville Volunteers attended the Papa John’s Pizza and Foundation 4 Heroes inaugural “Take A Stance Against Bullying” event for the community at the Charlotte Hall Square Shopping Center in Charlotte Hall.

Many local businesses including Ace Hardware, Sweet Frog, Elite Beatz Entertainment, Hilltop Signs and Graphics, and many more took part in this event to help raise funds to donate to the F4Heroes Anti-Bullying posters, which provides simple advice based on research to help deal with a bully.

Speakers discussed signs of bullying, tendencies of kids to seek help, types of bullying, as well as several individuals sharing their personal stories for better understanding and community healing.

Thank you Papa John’s Pizza and Foundation 4 Heroes for inviting us to this event!
