Founder and President Tori Morrison, mother of Ben, just announced the date for the 2023 2nd annual Ben’s Birthday Bash will be Sunday, February 19, 2023. The celebration is scheduled to take place at the Fowling Warehouse – Sports Bar located on Highland Avenue in Cincinnati. The event will feature tournament-style fowling. JD’s Meat Shack will be serving up some BBQ. The fun will include auctioning of the “fan-favorite Liquor Trove”.

Every year since the founding of the Ben Morrison Fund following his sudden death, the nonprofit has given scholarships to graduating seniors of Loveland High School. Tori and the BMF also work tirelessly to help erase the stigma of mental health struggles to honor the memory of Ben Morrison.

“We are so grateful for the support we receive to strengthen our efforts to help erase the stigma of mental health struggles and to help those struggling to move forward,” said Tori. “This event is particularly special to me as it celebrates Ben’s life as well as his lasting legacy of helping others. It’s a lot of fun. We hope you will come join us.”

Proceeds from the event go directly to helping young people struggling with mental health crises, normalizing conversations about mental health and building hope. Proceeds will also help fund the LHS scholarships for graduating seniors. Stacey Lund, Vice President, Ben Morrison Fund, expressed her gratitude to the Loveland community and especially those directly involved in support of the BMF efforts to make a difference for young people.

“We are so grateful for our sponsors, volunteers and our incredible community for their continuous support as we work to make a lasting difference in helping young people continue their story.” – Stacey Lund, V.P. Ben Morrison Fund
