Prince William Out of the Darkness Walk

Location: Harris Pavilion
                   9201 Center St
                   Manassas, VA 20110

Sunday, 08 September 2024 — 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM

EPW is a proud supporter and sponsor of AFSP’s Prince William Out of the Darkness Walk.  As the President of EPW, Dave Dooley is also the local committee chair for the Walk.  We would like to invite you to join our EPW team, or form your own team, or to sponsor the Walk, or provide something for a raffle basket, or volunteer for the event, or anything else you would like to do to support this important cause.

Walk to Fight Suicide

Many people’s introduction to AFSP comes through our Out of the Darkness Community Walks, taking place in cities nationwide. Through these events, those affected by suicide and those who support them raise awareness and much-needed funds for our mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide, strongly sending the message that suicide can be prevented and that no one is alone.

AFSP is dedicated to creating a culture that’s smart about mental health through education, loss and healing support, advocacy, and research. As a voluntary organization, our grassroots efforts engage families, mental health professionals, community and local business leaders, school administrators, and others interested in preventing suicide.
