Jesse Hill Scholarship Fund

Jesse Jonathan Hill was a kind, loving, and genuine person. His distinctive ear-to-ear smile could brighten a room and put you at ease, his shoulder was always there to lean on, and his ears were always available to listen. But while Jesse was always the rock in our lives, he, like so many in this world, had trouble expressing his personal struggles to those who loved him most. To cope with his pain, Jesse slowly slipped into a prescription painkiller addiction, which was followed by a deep depression. Tragically, Jesse lost his battle with addiction and depression and, in a last-ditch effort to end his ongoing pain, took his own life on October 30, 2012.

In remembrance of Jesse’s life, we began the Jesse Hill Memorial Wiffle Ball Tournament to increase awareness and raise funds to prevent addiction, depression and suicide. This year, all proceeds will be donated to Caron Treatment Center's, My Recovery Connection (formerly My First Year) Program. The My Recovery Connection Program provides personalized aftercare to individuals as they begin their first steps in recovery post-treatment, including guidance, coaching, support, and accountability to both patients and their families.

Over the past 10 years we have raised a $28,410. This year we are hoping to break the $30,000 mark.

Thank you for all of your support and we are looking forward to seeing everyone for another day filled with friends, family, and love.
