On Sunday, October 20, 2024, several HUUC congregants joined several other area UUs to raise funds to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention by participating in the Out of the Darkness Community Walk. The mission of this organization is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.
The UU Team had its best showing ever for the 2024 Out of the Darkness Walk. The team raised a total of $1,738.23 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. They were 13th in fundraising, out of 183 Teams! And that’s not all; at the time of this writing there were still some donations that hadn’t been processed, including some from Donor Advised Funds.
But wait, there’s more! You can still donate online via the link below. Walk donations are accepted until December 31, 2024 at https://tinyurl.com/2p8wn627
To all those that couldn’t make it in person, we know you were there with us in spirit – even those who registered but couldn’t make the walk and/or donate, YOU MATTER! Every person who shows support helps spread the word and adds to Team Pride. We are truly grateful to those of you who took the time and effort to register. You made a difference.
Save the date for Sunday, October 5, 2025 and join us next year!
