Dear Friend and Community Leader, You can be an everyday hero in the fight against suicide. Suicide rates are on the rise and all populations are at risk. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is on a bold mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. Will you help support the fight against this preventable death? You can help make an impact by supporting the Illinois Chapter of AFSP and sponsoring the largest suicide prevention event in the country – the Out of the Darkness Chicagoland Walk. This year, the walk will take place on Saturday, September 23 at Grant Park in Chicago. In 2016, 5,000 walkers and supporters joined together raising over $800,000 to build awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. This was not possible without the support of participants, donors and our sponsors. The funds raised enable AFSP to fund research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy, and support survivors of suicide loss throughout Illinois and across the nation. More than 44,000 Americans die by suicide each year and it is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. AFSP has officially launched Project 2025, a targeted effort to reduce the annual suicide rate 20% by the year 2025; with your help, we are confident that we will reach our goal. It is a bold initiative but without being bold, we won't see results. As a local business, I hope you will support AFSP as we are in a pivotal time to make a difference and save lives. Kindly,

Courtney Collins Area Director, IL Chapter 312.802.9714 [email protected] Enclosures
