This event is a fundraiser for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The walk is taking place Sunday, March 25. It is also an expression of hope, support, and help for those who are struggling with suicide, anxiety and depression, and those who have been impacted by loss due to suicide. The funds raised by the Out of the Darkness Walk help bring important AFSP research, education, advocacy and survivor programs to our local community. Please join us in forming a team, walking individually, or walking “virtually” and participating in this event. There will be educational materials and fun interactive activities provided by several FAU offices, academic departments and community providers. Give yourself time to stop at different stations. Breakfast snacks provided.
