No Hate High School Tour marks 25th year with nationwide mission to combat bullying

Posted

According to the National Bullying Prevention Center, one in every five high school students reports being bullied during the school year.

In an effort to address this issue, ASA Entertainment is launching the 25th annual No Hate High School Tour—a nationwide initiative to prevent bullying and raise awareness about its effects. And Foley High School is set to host the No Hate High School Tour on Jan. 29.

The No Hate High School Tour, celebrating its milestone anniversary this year, aims to reach 250 high schools in 50 cities across America. The program, renowned for its entertaining, educational, and impactful action sports assembly, brings five top BMX pros, including legends Morgan Wade, Koji Kraft, Trevor Meyer, Zach Newman and Dane Beardsley, to high school campuses.

The specially designed mobile ramps provide a platform for these elite athletes to showcase incredible stunts while simultaneously educating students on bullying prevention and mental health awareness. This unique blend of action-packed performances and messages from real-life heroes who have faced mental health challenges captivates students, providing a one-on-one interaction opportunity with the pros.

“The No Hate High School Tour is absolutely the most rewarding program we produce,” ASA Entertainment CEO Rick Bratman said in a news release. “The ASA staff, the BMX pros and the sponsors are all incredibly invested in the Tour’s cause and message. It is so important to teach the next generation about acting with kindness, supporting each other and overcoming obstacles while giving them tools to help cope with the many challenges facing students today.”

The tour, which has visited over 3,000 schools and reached more than 5.2 million students in its 25-year history, is made possible through the support of backers, including the U.S. Marines. Events are provided to schools free of charge, ensuring accessibility for all.
