As community leaders, we are here to provide support wherever – and whenever – we can.” Kent State Stark is collaborating with Phoenix Rising, CommQuest, StarkNAMI and Sandy Hook Promise, which will have representatives available during performances. The goal is to provide resources and spur healthy conservation about gun violence and prevention. All events are open to the public.
