Upcoming events
STAHRS recently attended the townhall meeting at Waianae High School to help offer understanding and possible long-term and short-term solutions to the problem of escalating teen violence in the area. It was great to meet and talk story with Councilwoman Andria Tupola, Rep. Darius Kila, and Rep. Cedric Gates.
As you read above, our mission is to Lower the Trajectory of Violence in our schools and part of this through active engagement with high school students and through the book donations planned to local elementary schools in under-resourced areas. We are actively fundraising via Facebook to help raise $5000 towards the total project cost of $35,000.
STAHRS will be present at the Hawaii State Pickleball Championships (September 27-29) in Wailea, Maui at the Wailea Tennis Club. STAHRS wants to donate 7 dozen sets of Bruno's Amazing Adventures to the schools destroyed in the fires last year. We will host an online silent auction with gift certificates from local hotels, restaurants, golf course, and other items such as custom jewelry and sports memorabilia. The silent auction will be held via the Better World website 8:00am 9/27/24 - noon 10/11/24. https://STAHRS.betterworld.org/auctions/west-maui-school.
STAHRS will have a booth set up at the Ala Moana Mall, 2nd floor outside the Target store on October 5 where we will have branded merch, children's books, puzzles, etc. available for donations. STAHRS will have a booth set up at the Hawaii Children & Youth Day in the Frank Fasi grounds (Honolulu) on October 6th with games, reading circle, etc.
We will also be in Waianae on October 26th for a community event as we hope to spread the importance to reducing interpersonal and family violence to make our schools safer and reduce the associated social issues fueled by abusive dynamics.

BRUNO'S AMAZING ADVENTURES
BE THE WAVE OF CHANGE
INCLUSION is HUMANe
Townhall Meeting at Waianae HS
Councilwoman Andria Tupola
Peer Education Class at Radford HS
It's about making their lives safe!!!
our efforts to teach the keiki (children) about the environment, healthy relationships, travel, self-care, and overcoming personal adversity.
Bruno's Amazing Adventures series
the Bruno's amazing adventures series encourages keiki to be adventurous and enjoy the outdoors. the series explores acceptance of others for their differences & bullying prevention. The series also encourages children to overcome personal adversities and challenges as well as developing inner peace and exploring foreign lands.
its important that children know they can rise above their personal challenges through perseverence and determination, like umber, the blind sled-dog team leader.
our children are sponges and they absorb what they are taught, such as acceptance and inclusion rather than rejection based on superficial differences. that is how we can best prevent bullying from occuring. sadly, being bullied often translates into other forms of relationship violence.
i was thrilled for the chance to share the lessons from Bruno's Amazing adeventures with the keiki of the Pacific missile range facility.
its important that children know they can get help from adults. too often they're afraid to ask for help. be aware and help a child when needed.
october is domestic violence awarenss month and february is teen dating violence awareness month. stahrs wants to eliminate teen dating violence and sexual assaults by educating high schoo students while the information resonnates most strongly.

These t-shirts were designed to help spread peace at the beginning of the pandemic when so many people were arguing over differences of opinion. And since bullying in many forms has played a significant role in the lives of my professional clients, what better message to show the world that we each can make a difference.
"We've known about this and seen it before. After hearing this information, I cannot ignore it any longer."
"I read the packet 3 times. I'm hoping to use it to talk to my parents."
"The information was good. It highlighted the importance of issues we know about, but don't think of."
Mountain Vista HS Students,

STAHRS is a 501c3 nonprofit organization designed to be a mechanism for professional and amateur athletes to make a difference in the trajectory of violence in our schools & communities.
STAHRS aims to reduce teen dating violence, sexual assaults, bullying, substance abuse, etc. Our curriculum can explain the extremes of human behaviors, such as school shootings.
STAHRS will empower students to develop positive peer cultures of inclusion, and therefore, safer environments. Our children are the short-term & long-term solution with the proper information and perspectives.
STAHRS is introduced to professional racquetball
World Doubles, Denver, Co May 2018:

THANK YOU COACH JIM HISER for your support!!!
STAHRS is looking for professional athletes in all sports who want to make a difference and need an avenue to do so.
Second only to Rapha House, I cannot think of an organization trying to help young women more than STAHRS. Your support from our Racquetball Family will help our communities.
STAHRS needs YOU! We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization needing financial support from the public, amateur sports world, and professional athletes while we gain recognition & attention for the mission and the results.
STAHRS can fill gaps in rural mental health education. STAHRS can reach half of an area's students by presenting to a middle school and high school. I envision trying to make as much impact in rural communities as in urban communities. Boys & girls all need to have the information to let them be more conscious and wiser.
Our focus is on developing our In-Schools program. Let's create Ambassadors of Change. Each athlete becomes a pebble in the pond to help influence others.
