Columbus, OH, April 14, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Syntero is pleased to announce AEP Foundation and Medical Mutual of Ohio as presenting sponsors of its annual awards ceremony that honors outstanding Central Ohio students.
The 30th Annual Catalyst for Positive Change Awards will be Friday, April 16, 2021, at 8:00 AM. The live, virtual ceremony will showcase high school seniors who exemplify Syntero’s values of integrity, empowerment, innovation and inclusion, as well as resilience during these difficult times. Syntero is a leading nonprofit behavioral health care agency that provides services for people of all ages throughout Central Ohio.
“The past year has been incredibly difficult for everyone, but especially for young people who have limited capacity to understand and cope with the ever-changing health and social climates,” Syntero CEO Julie Erwin Rinaldi, M.Ed., said. “The Catalyst Awards present an opportunity to celebrate resiliency and students’ ability to find innovative ways to cope and positively impact their communities.”
10TV News Sports Anchor Dom Tiberi will host the awards ceremony, which will celebrate resiliency in various ways. In addition to celebrating students’ resiliency, keynote speaker Curtis J. Moody, FAIA, NOMA, NCARB, LEED AP, a leading African American architect, will share his inspirational story of paving the way to success for himself and others, despite adversity. The ceremony will also feature the story of Christine’s Christmas—how friends and family came together to continue Christine Wilson’s legacy after the Ohio University student tragically lost her life to arson on The Ohio State University campus in 2003.
“We invite all community members to join us for this celebratory occasion,” Erwin Rinaldi said. “A special thanks goes to our presenting sponsors AEP Foundation and Medical Mutual of Ohio for their continued support of the event and our programs and services, which are needed now more than ever.”
The event will stream live at tinyurl.com/catalyst30, as well as Syntero’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SynteroOhio and will be free for anyone to view.
