The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) 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. See www.afsp.org for more details.

The Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk is the flagship fundraising event for AFSP and is responsible for almost 20% of their annual fundraising. This annual event is coming to Washington, DC for the first time since it's inception in 2002, and is the capital city's opportunity to take a stand against suicide and mental illness.
