Forward Ohio 2014 is scheduled for Saturday, April 26th, 2014 in Columbus, Ohio.
Forward Ohio will continue to not only be a celebration of our involvement in DIY hardcore, but an opportunity to acknowledge and utilize our privilege to be involved in hardcore to help others beyond our community. This year we will be raising funds to contribute to autism awareness and funds to help individuals and families who are impacted by autism spectrum exceptionalities.
