Stronger Together: Honoring Bradyn and Fighting for Change

At Finishing Touch Signs, we’ve always believed that a strong community is built on support, generosity, and standing together in times of need. Recently, we’ve had the honor of witnessing the true power of our local community as we came together to support the Bohn family and raise awareness about the dangers of sextortion.

Bradyn Bohn was a bright young man whose life was tragically cut short due to online exploitation. In response to this heartbreaking loss, our community has rallied around his family, not only to provide financial support but also to spread awareness about sextortion—a growing threat that targets individuals online.

While we at Finishing Touch Signs were able to create a special memorial decal in Bradyn’s honor, it wasn’t us who made this campaign a success. It was all of you—the people, families, businesses, and friends who came together to show your love and support. Through purchasing decals, donating, and spreading the word, this community has demonstrated what it truly means to lift each other up during difficult times.

The memorial decal, featuring a heart-shaped baseball with Bradyn’s number, has become a symbol of remembrance and action. Proceeds from the campaign are going directly to the Bird family, helping them navigate this unimaginable loss. Beyond financial support, this initiative is also playing a crucial role in raising awareness about sextortion, educating others on how to protect themselves and their loved ones from online predators.

Sextortion is a serious issue that affects countless individuals, often targeting young people through social media and gaming platforms. It’s essential to have open conversations about online safety and to know where to turn for help. If you or someone you know is facing online exploitation, resources are available:

• National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC): www.missingkids.org | 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678)

• National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988lifeline.org | Dial 988

• CyberTipline (for reporting online exploitation): www.cybertipline.org

We are so proud to be a part of this incredible, generous community. This campaign is proof that even in the face of tragedy, we can turn pain into action. By continuing to support the Bird family and by educating ourselves and others about sextortion, we are making a difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of something bigger than all of us. It’s not just about a sticker—it’s about honoring Bradyn’s legacy, protecting our children, and standing together for a safer future.
