WHY WE scurry
Mental illness is a serious public health issue in Greater Cincinnati and across the nation, with 1 in 5 people (adults and teens) experiencing a mental health condition each year. Every year, TiER1 Performance joins forces with local business owners and community members to activate mental health awareness through a unique fundraiser called The Scurry. Since its launch in 2010, The Scurry has raised more than $300,000 for local mental health initiatives. This year’s event will benefit three local organizations that are working tirelessly to support people through their mental health journey:
The Lindner Center of HOPE is a center of excellence providing patient-centered, scientifically advanced care for individuals suffering with mental illness.
Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky, also known as CHNK Behavioral Health, is a community leader in service of providing children and families with support, opportunity, and hope for better lives.
Cincinnati Children’s leads community resilience through Adapt for Life, a mental health program that provides tools for navigating stress and thriving.
TEAM COMPETITION
12:30 – 4 PM
Part scavenger hunt. Part race. All fun! The day starts with a 30-minute kickoff party before the three-hour Scurry Team Competition, a team-based, Amazing Race-style scavenger hunt around Covington, Kentucky, to solve puzzles, answer local trivia, and complete challenges for bragging rights. Team registration closes Friday, April 26.
AFTER PARTY
Starting at 4 PM
Activating Cincinnati around mental health! Following the competition, TiER1 and event partners will host an after party at Covington Yard in Covington, Kentucky. The party will be open to the community and feature live music, food, beverages, games, and more. You do not need to participate in the Team Competition in order to attend the After Party.
The Scurry allows TiER1 to take the best of what we do and partner with people who are the best in the mental health space to make a difference, in hopes of supporting the creation of workplaces and communities where people feel comfortable and supported enough to take action when needed. We don’t have to be afraid of conversations around mental health. The Scurry celebrates the network of support that exists around us—our friends, work colleagues, and communities.
– Greg Harmeyer, CEO of TiER1 Performance

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR amazing BENEFICIARIES
While mental illness has long been the nation’s No. 1 public health problem, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a substantial increase in reports of depression, anxiety, financial strain, social isolation, substance use, trauma-related symptoms, and suicidal ideation.
One in five Americans suffer from mental illness. Since 2008, Lindner Center of HOPE has served as a lifeline to tens of thousands who’ve struggled with mental illness or addiction. Mental illness and addiction can set those who struggle on a common journey, in search of one thing: hope. Hope for answers and action. Empathy and excellence. Lasting change and confidence. Offering a wide range of mental health services and treatments in an atmosphere that promotes long-term healing, we are staffed by some of the nation’s best psychiatric experts. Lindner Center of HOPE is a place entirely dedicated to hope—and finding the path forward. Lindner Center of HOPE is distinguished as a psychiatric center of excellence for our breadth of expertise and depth of understanding. Leaders in psychiatric research, yet providing the highest degree of empathetic, individualized patient care.
“Empathy and excellence are the foundations of everything we do at the Lindner Center of HOPE. Empathy is meeting the patient and their family wherever they are on their treatment journey. Excellence provides confidence in the results of our assessment and in partnering with the patient on their path forward in treatment.” -Paul R. Crosby, MD, MBA, President and CEO
ADAPT for Life (AFL) is a mental health and wellbeing program designed for students, grades K–12, as well as for parents and teachers supporting those students. The AFL program helps young people understand and identify the drivers that can lead to stress, including harmful and suicidal behavior. AFL is led by clinically trained facilitators and tackles topics on the continuum of mental health in an effort to close the gap in services for children and adolescents who may be struggling with mental illness. It also provides all students with helpful tools and skills using the ADAPT framework, so they may be able to help themselves and others.
The AFL program uses interactive, experience-based learning to engage students and help them connect and apply lessons to their personal lives. The program creates an ecosystem of support, which includes videos, mindfulness exercises, group activities, interactive surveys, moments of reflection, and workbooks to guide students in becoming more aware of what’s going on around them and help them learn they are not alone. AFL’s website also includes additional resources to help students as well as connect parents and educators to resource materials that complement the student experience.
