The Peyton Riekhof Foundation for Youth Hope was created in the memory of Peyton Riekhof.  The Foundation’s mission is to increase awareness of the risk of suicide in youth with mental health conditions.  The Foundation has made much progress working with the community to bring awareness and services directly to the youth of Hamilton County.

The Foundation’s main fundraiser is a softball tournament that serves over 400 girls ages 8-18 and their families from the Hamilton County and surrounding areas.  September 11^th, 2021, we are hosting the 7^th annual Play for Peyton Softball Tournament, which is a one-day tournament that includes games a program on mental health, and resources provided by local agencies – all designed to increase discussion, reduce stigma, and increase awareness about mental health conditions.

Here are some of the Foundation’s contributions to our community:
