Dear Community Partner,
The Alaska Chapter of the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention (AFSP) invites your organization to join us for the 2026 Out of the Darkness Walks; in Anchorage on September 19th and in Fairbanks on September 26, 2026. https://afsp.org/alaska
Each year, individuals, families, businesses, and community organizations come together to support AFSP's mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by su***de. Through education, advocacy, research, and support programs, AFSP is working to create a culture that is smarter about mental health and stronger in preventing su***de. We invite you or your company to get involved in one or more of the following ways:
• Become an Event Sponsor Sponsorship provides valuable visibility for your organization while demonstrating your commitment to mental health and su***de prevention in our community.
• Create a Company Walk Team Encourage your employees, friends, and family members to participate by forming a company team. Walking together is a meaningful way to promote wellness, build camaraderie, and make a positive impact in our community. Team members can also help raise funds to support AFSP's lifesaving programs.
• Host a Community Resource Table Organizations may also participate by hosting an information table at the walk. This is a great opportunity to engage with participants, share resources, and showcase your organization.
We hope you will join us in making this year's Out of the Darkness Walk a powerful day of hope, remembrance, and action. Every dollar raised helps support AFSP's work in Alaska, including community education programs, advocacy efforts, support for those impacted by su***de, and funding for critical research.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to support su***de prevention and mental health awareness in Alaska. Together, we can save lives and bring hope to those who need it most.

We bring together people from all backgrounds who want to prevent su***de in our communities. Families and friends who have lost someone to su***de, vulnerable individuals, mental health professionals, clergy, educators, students, community/business leaders, and many others energize our chapter.
