Dollars for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

A close friend of mine lost her dear friend earlier this year to suicide. She has set up a DonorDrive to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and will be joining in their 2008 Out of the Darkness Community Walk. Her goal is just $100, which will go far towards researching and preventing some of the 32,000+ lives lost each year. Here is more information on how to support this organization (the letter we received from her).

Dear Friend,

I will be joining with thousands of people nationwide this fall to walk in AFSP's 2008 Out of the Darkness Community Walk to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I would appreciate any support that you give me for this worthwhile cause.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is at the forefront of research, education and prevention initiatives designed to reduce loss of life from suicide. With more than 32,000 lives lost each year in the U.S. and over 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, and all donations are 100% tax deductible.
