Hello supporters,

We have been keeping a close eye on the weather forecast and, while we are very disappointed, we feel it is in everyone’s best interest to postpone our Defeat Depression fundraising event. With rain, strong winds, and cold temperatures expected, we want to ensure a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone attending.

We know that depression does not stop for bad weather, and neither does the need for mental health support. That is exactly why this event is so important to us. However, we also want to make sure our participants, volunteers, and supporters can fully enjoy the day.

Our new event date will be JUNE 6. Everything else will remain the same: arrive at noon, with the event beginning at 1:00 p.m.

The silver lining? This gives everyone a little extra time to prepare, collect sponsors, and help us reach our fundraising goals!

Thank you so much for your understanding, support, and continued commitment to mental health!

With warm regards,

The Steering Committee for Defeat Depression St. John's
