Hello everyone! This month, I have decided to copy an email I have sent out to others describing one of the big mental health related activities I am planning to participate in this year. Please consider supporting this wonderful event and have a great month!
Dear Friend,
As you know, I’ve been spending the past few weeks preparing for the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk. This year, I will be joining with hundreds of people to walk over 16 miles through the night to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
I will be walking to take a strong stand against suicide, and my personal fundraising goal is $1,000.00. I’m hoping to not only meet, but exceed my goal before the walk, and I need your support to do it. I will be collecting donations online and via check until the day of the walk.
To those of you who have donated – thank you! I have raised $275.00 so far, and I am excited to keep the momentum going!
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is the leading national not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research, education and advocacy, and to reaching out to people with mental disorders and those impacted by suicide. With more than 40,000 lives lost each year in the U.S. and nearly one million worldwide, the importance of AFSP’s mission has never been greater, nor our work more urgent.
I hope you will consider supporting my participation in this event. Any contribution will help the work of AFSP. Checks should be made payable to AFSP and are 100% tax deductible.
As I continue to prepare for the event, I thank all of you for your support and encouragement. If you have any questions about the Out of the Darkness Overnight or AFSP do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Dawn Grittmann
