By participating in the Out of the Darkness Walk, you join the effort with hundreds of other people to raise awareness and funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). With these donations, the AFSP is able to invest in new research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy, and support survivors of suicide loss. AFSP has been able to set a goal to reduce the annual suicide rate by 20% by 2025 due to the mass of walkers and donors that come out to show their support.
