Hope Starts Here 2023

We are inviting you to be a sponsor for our annual local “Hope Starts Here” event taking place on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at the Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth. The day includes a keynote speaker, shared experiences by a panel of survivors of suicide loss, resource tables, art therapy, welcome food, lunch, connecting with others, and closing ceremonies.

According to a study by Dr. Julie Cerel, for every suicide death in the United States, there were 135 people exposed to each suicide. In 2020, Michigan lost 1,282 people to suicide, leaving approximately 191,295 people exposed to to a suicide death. Our families are not alone, our event is here to care for and support them on their grief journey. Your sponsorship will help make this a minimal registration fee event for all of our families. As you may know, many survivors have incurred hardships following the loss of a tragedy and it is our intention to bring them hope and healing without the added burden of financial stress.

Please consider sponsoring this event. If you have any questions about sponsorships or the event in general, please reach out to Julie@srrn.net.
