At 9:00am on Saturday, June 7, over 400 attendees will have the opportunity to hear from our guest speaker Stefanie Kummer who lost her son, Alex, to suicide at the age of 16 in 2021. After we hear her story of hope, names of those lost to suicide will be read aloud during the Remembrance Ceremony. Then the event will conclude with a 1.5 mile walk from Fawick Park to Cliff Ave and back.

We encourage people to put together a team or register as an individual as we continue to step forward to prevent suicide and support those bereaved by loss. If you're not able to attend the event but wish to donate, that's great as well! Funds raised through the walk will benefit the Helpline Center's suicide awareness and prevention programs and services.

The Helpline Center and the Step Forward to Prevent Suicide Committee are pleased to welcome Mitchell Olson from Keloland Living as this year’s guest emcee. If you would like to join the planning committee, volunteer at the event or have any questions in general, please email donate@helplinecenter.org or call 605-274-1420.

If you or a family member are in crisis, please reach out to the Helpline Center by calling 988.
