The money raised at these walks will be used by AFSP to invest in new research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy, support survivors of suicide loss, and help AFSP reach its goal to reduce the annual suicide rate by 20% by 2025.
We look forward to seeing you at the walk closest to you and having you join us in our developing partnership with AFSP in Tennessee. Any questions about these events should be directed to the contacts listed above.
