A local event to bring increased awareness to mental health issues is planned for later this weekend.
The Tyler Barger Warrior Walk for Hope will take place Sunday at the Karns City Athletic Field beginning at 1 p.m.
In addition to a walk for all ages, this event will include guest speakers, a banner ceremony, raffle baskets, and more. All money raised as a result of this event will stay in Butler County and go to iRise Leadership Institute for suicide awareness, prevention, and education.
Karns City graduate Tyler Barger died as a result of suicide in March of 2018.
