Hope Walks here

The Cause: Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people. By walking, we are becoming "smart about mental health."

The Impact: Funds raised go toward life-saving research, education programs like It’s Real: Teens and Mental Health, and support for those who have lost loved ones.

The Honor Bead Tradition: AFSP Honor Beads (each color represents a different connection to the cause), which allow participants to share their stories without saying a word.

Start a Team: Rally your high school campus, sports team, or club to walk together.

Volunteer: We need students and parents to help with logistics, registration, and spirit stations.

Sponsorship: Are you a local business owner? Help us cover event costs so more funds go directly to prevention.

Spread the Word: Download our digital flyer to share on your campus social media or print posters for your local coffee shop or library.

Campus Support: ECHS students needing counseling support can find more information HERE.

Crisis Line: * Text or Call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) – Available 24/7.
