Craig is very excited and honored to be part of this year's Penny Pledge-A-Thon. This is a subject that he has experienced as his best friend's son passed almost 10 years ago. And every year he helps to raise money with a local organization to help with suicide prevention. Craig's background includes MC work for a variety of companies as well as working as the technical director and executive producer for a variety of events. He is also at home on local stages as an actor. Currently, Craig can be found working with the Vaudacity Variety Network on YouTube adding his background and fun to a couple of their online programs. He also does VoiceOver in his spare time. Please enjoy our show! AND thank you so much for helping us raise awareness and funds for this worthy cause. NEVER KEEP THIS A SECRET!!

What is the Penny Pledge?
The Penny Pledge, an individual call to action for all ages. With Kid in the Corner’s in-school, and now virtual, programming we have been able to reach thousands of youth and truly create an impactful change. We are normalizing mental health, starting difficult conversations, and strengthening the community with knowledge, tools, and resources.
By wearing pennies around our necks, on our key chains, or on our backpacks, we have a physical reminder to reach out, to be kind, and to show people that they are not alone in this struggle. Pennies serve as visual symbols to prompt active listening, start conversations, and recognize our own mental health needs. Pennies are often discounted as insignificant and our pledge is to remember that every cent counts.
The Penny Pledge
By wearing this penny I pledge to...
Reach out to the kid in the corner
Smile, say hi, ask where they've been
Take care of my own mental health
Know that it’s okay to not be okay,
and it is a strength to ask for help
Wear my penny proudly
So that other people will know that
I am a safe and caring person to talk to
