An elementary school in NKY helped 24 students receive glasses. The story starts with many of the parents denying their child had a vision problem, and they refused to go to the eye doctor. They saw going to the doctor as a weakness; however, this started to change. Because the Family Resource Coordinator assisted the families with making appointments, accompanying them to the appointment, and explaining what the doctor was doing during the exam, and how to take care of the new glasses, the parents became more comfortable with their child needing them. Seeing other parents and other kids there helped too. These 24 children are truly better off now, and the parents aren’t as reluctant to visit the eye doctor.

High school basketball teams that participated in the 2016 Bluegrass-Buckeye Charity Classic in January raised $25,000 that will be distributed to three local charities.
A check presentation took place on Friday, Feb. 12 between boys' high school basketball games played at BB&T Arena on the campus of Northern Kentucky University. The three local charities sharing the proceeds are the Ruth Lyons Children's Fund, Neediest Kids of All and Chicks & Chucks, a breast cancer support group.
This year's classic included the Elder at Oak Hills boys' basketball game in Ohio and three games between Northern Kentucky teams -- Scott vs. Dixie Heights, Cooper vs. Holmes and CovCath vs. NewCath -- that were all played at BB&T Arena.
The signature sponsors for the classic were Mercedes-Benz of Fort Mitchell and Griffin Elite Sports & Wellness in Erlanger. Other participating sponsors were Darling Ingredients Inc., The Enquirer, Bilz Insurance and Liberty Mutual Insurance.
The mission of the BBCC is to instill in young athletes the importance of giving back to their community whenever and wherever they can. Since its inception in 2001, the classic has donated more than $208,000 to local charities in Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio.
It is hoped that the skill, teamwork and unselfish play exhibited on the court will be carried over to a life-long habit of helping those who are less fortunate. It is equally important to teach our athletes that they can have fun while at the same time do something very good for those in need.
Organizers and sponsors of the Bluegress-Buckeye Charity Classic pose with representatives of three local charities that will share the $25,000 raised by this year's event.

Thank you for helping our area’s neediest children!
The Gannett Foundation awarded a grant to Neediest Kids of All, in recognition of its good work providing basic necessities for the Tri-state’s needy children. The funds will be distributed to area schools and Head Start sites, so clothing, shoes, coats, eye glasses and other items can be purchased to serve the children.
In 2015, NKOA received its largest bequest in the organization’s history. A loyal donor wanted the gift to “advance the purposes of the organization.” Another generous bequest was received, because the donor had such respect for the work done by NKOA.
These two donors, and others before them, recognized the impact a planned gift can make to the long range effectiveness of Neediest Kids of All. The organization is committed to efficient and direct service to needy children in the Tri-state area, and these gifts enhance the ability for the mission to continue.
Since the NKOA funds are available through the area schools and Head Start sites, if you are looking for assistance for your children, please contact your children’s schools directly.
