WHY:             It is estimated that each year, nearly 1 million Americans make a suicide attempt, more than 38,000 die by suicide, and more than 20 million suffer from depression. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in college age students and the leading cause of injury death in the U.S. overall. Suicide takes an enormous toll on families, friends, co-workers and entire communities. Yet, suicide can be prevented.  This event is designed to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention.
