Originally launched as part of a Mental Health Fest at Eisenhower Park, the Tug of War fundraiser has grown to be a community challenge that brings local families, organizations and athletes together to help support one big message... “We’re All in This Together”!

This year's event will bring even more excitement when teams go head-to-head in a competition designed to create more awareness and funds for youth mental health and prevention efforts across Milford. To participate, you must be 15+, and community teams are strongly encouraged to register and participate! Beyond it being a fun competition, this event has a meaningful impact.

Local nonprofits will also have an incentive this year! Participating teams from nonprofit organizations will receive 50% of funds raised after the first $100 which will help maximize support for initiatives which are community driven.

The Milford Prevention Council asks that any local residents, organizations, and businesses come together to form teams and take part in this event. Registration is now open through https://givebutter.com/8dM76L !
