Suicide Prevention Walk on Sunday, October 14

(Courtesy of Team Eric) Please join the Levenson and Krasna families on Sunday, October 14, as Team Eric again joins the American Friends for Suicide Prevention for an “Out of the Darkness Walk” around the lake in memory of their beloved son, Eric, z”l.

The location will be Verona Park with registration at 1:30 p.m. Opening ceremonies and walk begin at 2:30 p.m. Walk ends by 5:00 p.m.

Online registration closes at noon the Friday before the walk, on the AFSP web site: https://afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.teamParticipants&teamID=168202. However, anyone who would like to participate can register in person at the walk from the time check-in begins until the walk starts.

Last year, Team Eric had 120 walkers, alongside other walkers remembering other loved ones. Among the walkers was a group of police officers, walking in memory of fallen comrades.

When you walk in the Out of the Darkness Walks, you join the effort with hundreds of thousands of people to raise awareness and funds that allow the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to invest in new research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy and support survivors of suicide loss.

While there is no registration charge for this event, all donations to either AFSP—Team Eric, or the family’s foundation, the Eric Eliezer Levenson Foundation for Hope, are appreciated.

If you participated last year, please wear your Team Eric tee-shirt again proudly. For those of you who are joining for the first time, please advise as to what size you will need.
