On Wednesday, May 5, Rulli-Heaphey will be one of five Ohio students awarded the Youth Prevention Award by the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Association of Ohio (ADAPAO) during its virtual Youth Prevention Showcase. On Friday, May 7, a virtual version of the Prevention Action Alliance’s “We Are the Majority Virtual Rally,” which she helped organize and secured the guest speaker for, will be presented including at a watch party at Springfield’s COhatch.
Finally, one of her designs will be used on an anti-vaping campaign created by her and fellow BATS (Bringing Awareness to Students) members that will be appearing on ads on the Clark County Combined Health District’s social media pages and in print around Springfield by the Clark County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition tying in with National Prevention Week beginning Sunday, May 9.
Add in her seven-day-a-week rehearsals preparing for an upcoming show with Gary Geis Dance Company and you may feel exhausted just reading all the activity. Despite being hectic at times, Rulli-Heaphey finds energy in her endeavors.
