Local Preteen’s Watercolor Series to Benefit First-Responder Mental Health

By Scanner Alerts Media Group — October 14, 2025

Scanner Alerts Media Group will soon release a series of shirts featuring original watercolor paintings by a local preteen. The artist recently experienced a mental-health crisis and had an extremely positive interaction with Rochester Police and Frisbie EMS professionals who responded. She is doing much better and making daily progress. She asked to share her message of hope and raise awareness for mental health through her artwork.

The paintings will appear on T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and more with short, uplifting messages. Proceeds will support Courage to Unwind, our first-responder mental-health initiative. In addition, our leadership team will provide the artist with a portion of the proceeds to assist with her healing journey.

The first shirt drop is live here:https://www.bonfire.com/hope-takes-flight-suicide-awareness

Additional drops will be posted here, along with other merchandise that supports our mission:https://www.bonfire.com/store/scanner-alerts-media-group/

Release updates will be shared on our pages as new designs go live.
