Murphy will be performing as well as telling his story about his days of living as a homeless person and the people he saw that struggled with addiction. 

Chris Scott says this will be a “stadium show” that allows them to expand the area where students will gather. Scott thanked Brian Wickline, the Chillicothe Paints and Stacia Ruby of the V.A. Medical Center for helping put this year’s event together.
