Out of the Darkness

We are pleased to announce that the East Helena Out of the Darkness Campus Walk will take place on Saturday, April 29, 2017, at 2 p.m. (with check-in beginning at 1 p.m.) at East Helena City Hall, 306 E. Main - East Helena, Montana. More than 500 Out of the Darkness Campus and Community Walks take place nationwide each year. All Walks help fund research, education, advocacy and other programs of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). We have several Out of the Darkness Walks (Campus and Community) in Montana each year, which help AFSP Montana Chapter fund suicide prevention education and survivor of suicide loss programs around our state. This year East Helena will hold the first Out of the Darkness Campus Walk, for students and the community. Will you partner with us as an event sponsor for this Walk and help us reach our fundraising goal of $10,000? Our walkers are passionate supporters of the cause, with 78% of online registrants indicating a personal investment in suicide prevention. And goodwill goes a long way: 91% of global consumers are likely to switch brands to one associated with a good cause, given comparable price and quality. 1 Enclosed you will find the 2017 Montana Campus Walk Sponsorship Opportunities, which details the benefits of becoming a sponsor for this Walk. Benefits increase as your level of sponsorship rises. Funds raised from The Out of the Darkness Campus Walks allow us to fund research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy, and support survivors of suicide loss.
