About 5B Hike for Hope 2025
“Hike for Hope” is a community event designed to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention, mental health education, and crisis intervention services in Blaine County. It is co-hosted by The Crisis Hotline, 5B Suicide Prevention Alliance, and Love Like Ky. This event promotes hope, healing, and connection while supporting programming that saves lives.
Registering and joining the Hike for Hope makes you a vital force in preventing suicide.
Directly Fund Life-Saving Programs: Your registration fees ($30 adults / $10 youth) and peer-to-peer fundraising efforts directly contribute to our $150,000 goal. These funds fuel critical mental health education, suicide prevention, and crisis intervention services in Blaine County. Every step you take helps support:
Raise Awareness & Reduce Stigma: By joining the hike, you visibly demonstrate your commitment to mental health and suicide prevention. Your presence helps normalize conversations, shows solidarity with those affected, and highlights that help and hope are available within our community.
Strengthen Community Connection: The "Hike for Hope" fosters a powerful sense of unity. You connect with fellow community members, advocates, and individuals with lived experience, building a supportive network, reinforcing the message: You are not alone.
