On Sunday, April 30th, about 500 Freedom Elementary students,
parents, staff members and some Hayden family members attended the
Cincinnati Reds game at the Great American Ball Park. A portion of the
ticket sales went to the Jeffrey Thomas Hayden Foundation and resulted
in about $1,300 being raised.
 On
that day, Freedom was also honored by the Joe Nuxhall Character
Education Foundation and the Reds Community Fund as their very first
School of Character. This was in recognition of Freedom being named a
2006 National School of Character by the Character Education
Partnership, one of only ten schools in the country to receive the
honor. Prior to the game, six Freedom students as well as staff members
and parents were allowed to go on the field to receive a large banner,
$500 check and other gifts.
JTHF would like to thank our friends at Freedom elementary for a job
well done. Congratulations Freedom!!
The Jeffrey Thomas Hayden Foundation is a registered 501c(3) non profit organization that was created to Make a Difference in
the fight against pediatric brain tumors. For more information visit our
