The Out of The Darkness Walks are AFSP’s signature fundraising event series, with the purpose of generating funds needed for suicide prevention research, education, advocacy, and programs for those who have been impacted by suicide. These 400+ events across the United States have a far-reaching impact in communities by raising awareness about the issue, reducing stigma, encouraging people to seek treatment, attracting media coverage, educating the public, and building a network of chapters of advocates across the country.
Most importantly, Out of The Darkness events give people the courage to open up about their own connections to the cause, and a platform to create a culture that’s smarter about mental health. Friends, family members, neighbors and coworkers find healing as they walk side-by-side, supporting each other and in memory of those lost.
With your support, we can help create those connections and help the millions of people impacted by suicide
