Su***de prevention starts with everyday heroes like you!

Join us on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the Cumberland County Technical Education Center, 3400 College Drive, Vineland, NJ as we walk to fight su***de and raise awareness about mental health. Be a part of the movement turning hope into action, and create a culture that’s smart about mental health. Funds raised at the walk will benefit the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention to allow them to fund research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy, support survivors of su***de loss and bring prevention programs to our community.

There will be memorial activities to honor loved ones and resource tables to visit before and after the walk.

Register today, create your team, and begin fundraising!!!
