Our 24th Annual 5K Run/Walk for Suicide Prevention will be held on September 24th at Artesani Park in Brighton, and we will need a lot of volunteers to help the event run smoothly! Samaritans 5K is a celebration of life and a remembrance of loved ones lost to suicide, with fun family activities and an auction/raffle in addition to the race. Most of our volunteer positions start around 7:00am and wrap up by 11:30.
Each year, this event raises funds and awareness for Samaritans’ lifesaving services, including our 24/7 Helplines, Community Education and Outreach, and Grief Support Services for those who have lost a loved one to suicide. All of these services are available to members of our community free of charge.
By volunteering your time, you help us put on a memorable event for over 2,000 participants, most of whom have been affected by suicide in some way. We hope that you can join us for a rewarding experience and a day that is filled with fun and hope! Sign up at https://forms.office.com/r/BaVvrE6Ca8
