AFSP Out of the Darkness Campus Walk
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. AFSP creates a culture that’s smart about mental health through education and community programs, develops suicide prevention through research and advocacy, and provides support for those affected by suicide. Led by CEO Robert Gebbia and headquartered in New York, and with a public policy office in Washington, D.C., AFSP has local chapters in all 50 states with programs and events nationwide. AFSP celebrates 30 years of service to the suicide prevention movement.
The Blue Springs Out of the Darkness Campus Walk is one of more than 150 Out of the Darkness Campus Walks being held nationwide this year and the very first high school campus walk for the Greater Kansas City Chapter of AFSP. The walks are expected to unite more than 25 thousand young walkers and raise over a million dollars for suicide prevention efforts.
This fundraising walk supports the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s local and national education and advocacy programs and its bold goal to reduce the annual suicide rate 20 percent by 2025.
