Why We Participate
The Overnight Virtual Experience is an event like no other. As you participate, you'll feel safe and cared-for in a community where everyone supports each other. It's a place to laugh, to cry, and to heal - to honor the past and embrace a future that your work will change for the better.
Su***de prevention does not get anywhere near the funding given to other leading causes of death. It's up to supporters like us to make a difference. Together we can change the conversation about mental health and put a stop to this tragic loss of life.
PLEASE JOIN US VIRTUALLY OR IN PERSON ON JUNE 16, 2021 • WE WILL BE WALKING AT THE BREAK OF DUSK (MEETING LOCATION TBD) , SO BRING YOUR GLOWIES AND ALL FORM OF RADIANT LIGHT, INCLUDING YOURSELF. PETS WELCOME IF FRIENDLY TO OTHERS 💙💜
No matter where we are, we walk together.
The Overnight Virtual Experience
The safety and health of our community is our top priority. Therefore, with your well-being in mind, we have decided to host The Overnight Virtual Experience this June to continue to honor loved ones we've lost to su***de and to support those who are struggling. We will stay connected during this time and lift each other up, just as we would have done in person.
The Overnight Virtual Experience will be composed of four main pieces, much like last year's first Virtual Overnight Experience:
Physical: Action.
One of the top most important parts of The Overnight for our participants is walking 16+ miles or taking action for our important cause. We are working on some exciting ways to train and complete activities for the 2021 Overnight Virtual Experience. Stay tuned for more information.
Social Engagement: Connection.
We know not everyone uses social media, but in this time of physical distancing, social media is a way for our community to come together to support one another. We will host opportunities to connect with one another and share our Overnight experiences on social media and Zoom for registered participants throughout the season.
Fundraising Milestones: Impact.
There is no fundraising minimum requirement this year for The Overnight Virtual Experience. However, we encourage you to fundraise so AFSP can continue life-saving work and provide programs for su***de prevention. Your fundraising will impact the course of su***de prevention for years to come. We will be there to encourage you and offer fundraising rewards as you cross different milestones.
Event Program: June 26, 2021
The Overnight is important to us all, so we want to make sure you have the best experience possible during The Overnight Virtual Experience. The event weekend is an important time to honor loved ones and ourselves, connect with our community, and experience hope and healing.
