Suicide claims more lives than war, murder, and natural disaster combined. A person dies every 12.8 minutes in the US by suicide. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is seeking to reduce suicide rates by 20% by 2025. Donations can be made directly to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, or you can make a donation directly to a team member. Individuals can go to afsp.donordrive.com and type in a team name in the search box.
Local teams include Collin’s Castle in honor of Collin Castleberry, Dusky’s Stampede in honor of Dusky Baker, and Debbie Nalle in honor of her daughter Marcie.
All donations are 100% tax deductible. 82.9% of donations go towards program services such as research, education, programs, and support. Only 17.1% goes towards administrative costs.
