Organiser's Description
10 year anniversary! Join SPARC for a morning of hope and fun at the beautiful East End Farm in Louisa County to support suicide prevention efforts in our community! This is a positive and welcoming opportunity to share stories of hope and recovery, honor loved ones who have passed, and fight the stigma associated with mental health and suicide.
There are two options for registration. You may register to receive a shirt ($25), or if youd prefer not to receive a shirt you can register for free. In either case, donations are encouraged! This event is welcoming to people of all ages and dogs are welcome too (on leash). We also encourage you to start or join a team!
100% of event proceeds go to local suicide prevention efforts through SPARC, a group of concerned citizens, professionals, and partner agencies who convene with a common goal of reducing the number of suicides in our area.
