(Beaver County, PA) According to an announcement that came on August 18th, 2025, the Big Beaver Falls Area School District, the Blackhawk Area School District and the Beaver Valley Intermediate Unit were among eight school districts and intermediate units in Pennsylvania to be selected for the most recent grant awards of the Chuckie F. Mahoney Memorial Foundation. That foundation will give each organization a grant of $3,500 to provide resources of mental health during the 2025-2026 school year for their students. Charles Mahoney, the president of the Chuckie F. Mahoney Memorial Foundation, stated: “There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing our work bring needed resources to classrooms and directly benefit students and school personnel.” According to the website of the Chuckie F. Mahoney Memorial Foundation, Mahoney and his wife, Debi, created the Chuckie F. Mahoney Memorial Foundation in memory of their son to “provide resources, education and training on suicide prevention and depression to parents, teachers and those who work with the teen and young adult population.”
