Out of the Darkness (Community and Overnight Walks)
The Out of the Darkness Community and Overnight walks benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) by raising awareness on suicide and depression, raising money for research and education to prevent suicide from taking place, and providing assistance and a safe outlet for survivors of suicide. There are more than 30,000 suicide deaths in the United States each year. Ninety percent of those who die by suicide could have benefited from mental assistance. Someone in the U.S. dies by suicide every 16 minutes.〔(AFSP: Community Walks Home ). Retrieved September 18, 2007.〕 Over $850K has been raised to date for the cause of suicide prevention and education by the AFSP through the Out of the Darkness program. The Community Walks are typically 5k (3.10 miles).
In addition to the Community Walks, there is also an Overnight Walk, usually in only two or three host cities each year. In 2008, the walks were held in Seattle and New York, starting at 8pm and beginning to close at 5am. The Overnight, as it is called, is 20 miles.〔(AFSP: Overnight Home ). Retrieved September 19, 2007.〕
There were 105 communities around the United States hosting Community Walks in 2007.
