SUNY Delhi Walk to Promote Suicide Awareness and Prevention

DELHI, NY (09/22/2015)(readMedia)-- Kappa Sigma Epsilon, in partnership with SUNY Delhi and the Delaware County Suicide Prevention Coalition, is hosting its third annual "Out of the Darkness" Suicide Awareness and Prevention Walk on Sunday, September 27. Registration is at 9 a.m. at the college track and the walk begins at 11 a.m.

Most of the dollars raised will stay in the local community and are used for research and prevention efforts. The local community may also support one of the many campus teams participating in the walk.

As the leader in the fight against suicide, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) has set a goal to reduce the annual suicide rate 20 percent by 2025. Activities like this walk allow the AFSP to raise awareness and funds to invest in new research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy, and support survivors of suicide loss.
