C.A.E.'s 'Kick-The-Habit'

Thank you for your interest in C.A.E.'s 'Kick-The-Habit' Kickball Tournament.

There are many drug and alcohol intervention programs out there that can help people conquer substance use disorders. However, at Community Arts Experience, Inc. (C.A.E.), we believe the key to helping increase resilience against substance abuse and other adverse outcomes amongst individuals requires education and caring connections at the community and family levels to cultivate and support overcoming hurts, habits, and hang-ups.

TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW:

Teams comprised of co-ed youth participants ages 7-17, parents, and adults from the Shenango Valley and surrounding faith communities will compete to win the coveted title of C.A.E.’s ‘Kick-The-Habit’ Kickball Community Champions and proudly house the 56” team trophy for one year.

A complimentary lunch will be provided for all event attendees.

During the lunch hour, participants will have an opportunity to hear a personal testimony from a special guest who was able to “kick the habit” of addiction and live a life of freedom.

Additional educational resources will be made available throughout the event from C.A.E. STOMP partners and community services agencies. Cornhole game boards will be available to add to the fun for non-participating event attendees.
