Thank You All for Your Participation in the 2013 Washington , DC
The 2013 Overnight Walk was
an enormous success and participants from around the country joined us in the
nation’s capitol to help show the nation that suicide and mental illness must
be brought Out of the Darkness.
With more than 1,700 Walkers at the event and out on
the route and 190 Crew Members
supporting them along the way, the Overnight participants were a very large and
visible crowd in the streets of Washington ,
DC
More than 200 Volunteers helped with everything
around the Ceremony Site and helped support Walkers and staff and the crowd of
friends, family, and supporters swelled at both the Opening and Closing
Ceremonies at University Yard on The George Washington University’s campus.
A Record Fundraising Effort
Thanks to the hard work of
all of our Walkers and Crew and the enormous generosity of all of the donors
and supporters of the cause, the total funds raised by the start of the 2013
Overnight was $2.6 million!
These much needed funds will help AFSP continue to combat suicides and lead to better understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of the mental disorders that precede precede them.
