The Highlands Sports Complex Hosts ‘Stronger Together’ for Flood Victims

-

(Triadelphia, W.Va.) Aug. 30th, 2025 – The Highlands Sports Complex proudly hosted “Stronger Together: Highlands 5-Year Celebration” earlier today to mark five years of growth, memories, and service, while rallying the community in support of families affected by the recent flooding in Ohio County.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley’s Disaster Recovery Fund.

The celebration brought together residents, athletes, families, and local businesses for a day of activities reflecting the spirit of unity and resilience, such as:

  • A free kids’ clinic & climbing wall   
  • First responders’ recognition  
  • Pickleball tournament fundraiser 
  • Community fair featuring local vendors
  • A free roller derby match

“Reaching this five-year milestone at The Highlands Sports Complex is about more than looking back—it’s about recognizing the spirit and unity of Ohio County,” said Zach Abraham, president of the Ohio County Commission. “We remember the victims of the June 14th flood and honor the survivors who carry on with strength.

“We also share our appreciation to the first responders and volunteers whose courage and compassion lifted us in our darkest hours. Time and again, our community has shown that when challenges come, we rise together,” he said. “That’s what makes Ohio County so special.”

The Highlands Sports Complex looks forward to continuing its partnership with Ohio County and welcomes the community to its arcade room, play climb area, and programs, including basketball, volleyball, NFL flag football, and indoor winter baseball, available this fall.
