Out of the Darkness Community Walk
Oct 21, 8:30am
Agawam, MA
Join the diocesan-wide team in the Greater Springfield, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Community Walk.
The Out of the Darkness Community Walk is a journey of remembrance, hope, and support. It unites our communities and provides an opportunity to acknowledge the ways in which suicide and mental health conditions have affected our lives and the lives of those we love and care about. The funds raised support the Massachusetts Branch of the American Foundation for the Prevention of Suicide and gives them the ability to provide programming.
If you choose to join the team you can participate in several ways. You can raise money to help us reach our goal and then join us on Oct. 21 in Agawam for the walk. You can simply raise money for the team, but choose not to walk, or you can walk and not raise money.
