Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health (C&A) is fortunate to be the recipient of the Mike Flood Endowment established in 1999. Mike Flood, a former board member for C&A and Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, retired from The Timken Co., he asked in lieu of gifts, donations be made to the newly established endowment fund.
The original endowment fund started with $25,000. Over the years, with the generosity of Mike and Kay Flood, their friends and community supporters, the endowment fund had grown to more than $350,000, with the ultimate goal of $1 million.
To further boost the growth of the endowment fund, C&A decided to hold an event benefiting the endowment in 2020, hosting a virtual wine and cheese tasting event with family-owned Canton restaurant Fromage Du Monde. After enjoying a laid back, casual holiday gathering amongst supporters through Zoom due to the pandemic, C&A decided to take the event in-person with a reverse raffle at the Massillon Eagles #190, a regular supporter of the agency and the Massillon community.
On March 24, C&A is excited to hold the third annual Mike Flood Endowment event- Diehl Suburu Hoops & Heart Reverse Raffle. This event is chaired by C&A’s board member Jeremy Hesson, director of human resources & accounting at Canton Country Day.
The Reverse Raffle will take place at the Massillon Eagles Club #190, 303 Weirich Blvd. N.E., Massillon, from 6-8 pm and will feature a reverse raffle with a grand prize of $1000, gift card pull, 50/50 and raffle baskets.

The reverse raffle is March Madness themed, so guests are encouraged to dress to support their favorite basketball team! All fundraisers at the event are cash only, there will be an ATM onsite.
This worthwhile cause supports the 4,200 children and families C&A serves each year. As a board member, Flood saw the struggle to provide additional support for agency projects and programs due to balancing the operating budget. This endowment provides funding outside the normal operation budget for small projects, trainings or other initiatives.
The Floods became involved with C&A, when their son Christopher struggled with mental health and addiction. Looking for answers to help their son, Mike continued to search for resources in Stark County, which led him to C&A, and eventually the county mental health board.
