We have another sweepstakes upon us. This time to benefit the upcoming Greater Los Angeles Pasadena Walk on Saturday, November 7, 2026.

From now until Friday, November 6, 2026 6pm, walkers who fundraise $150 are entered into a sweepstakes to win 2 park passes at Disneyland resort, and for every additional $150 you are entered again!

To enter these sweepstakes be sure to register for the Pasadena Walk - whether for in-person walking or virtual! You don't have to be a local supporter to participate! And you don't have to be present at the walk to win.

Our Greater Los Angeles and Central Coast community have been such amazing champions this walk season. We thank you for your support and efforts thus far - let's close out this year's Walk season on a high note! afsp.org/pasadena

We certainly do love our volunteers.

Harvey and his friends reached out to our team as we were preparing for Walk season asking if he and his cosplayer friends could join the Santa Monica Walk as route cheerleaders. We loved their costumes so much that we had them right at the start line! Thank you to the Sentinels of Light cosplay group for sharing your joy and energy at the walk.

We are always looking for volunteers at our walks. The upcoming 11/7 Pasadena Walk is still in need of volunteers. Please visit the event page to sign up and help out! afsp.org/pasadena

We are not done with walk season and we are eager to see our Greater Los Angeles community again this time in Pasadena at Central Park!

Come Saturday, November 7 we will be hosting our final Out of the Darkness Walk for 2026 and we want to see our past teams and walkers return - and of course, if you have yet to participate in the mission of AFSP, now is the time!

Registration is open at afsp.org/pasadena

As we continue to gear up for the Pasadena Walk, we would like to thank our sponsors thus far who so generously advocate our mission with their generosity Everdear & Co.

The wind and the heat didn't stop us this past Saturday from coming together for our Ventura County Out of the Darkness Walk. To our community - thank you for sharing your stories, care, and compassion. With raising a little over $20,000, hosting over 250 participants, we thank you for the literal steps you take to show that no one should be alone in the darkness. And again thank you to and Oxnard Monday Club for sponsoring. Our deepest gratitude to you all!

WIND WIND GO AWAY, come again another day!

Tomorrow is the Ventura County Out of the Darkness Walk. We are certainly excited to have our community join us nevertheless - that said we encourage our walkers and supporters to prepare for a windy AND warm day. Sunhats, tank tops, shorts, you know the drill!

As always we want to say thank you to all of you who continue to spread the mission of AFSP and ensuring that we guide everyone OUT OF THE DARKNESS.

Thank you to Camino a Casa by Casa Pacifica for supporting this event with their generous sponsorship.

We'll see you all at Promenade Park tomorrow!

This year's Santa Monica Walk is in the books. And yet again our amazing community rallied to promote togetherness, breaking down stigmas, and honoring our lost loved ones. This mission is nothing without all of you and coming together to ensure that no one feels alone in the darkness. Our deepest gratitude to our volunteers who helped bring the event to life the day-of. An enormous shout out to our sponsors for their generous support. Thank you to our over 800 participants who helped raise nearly $100,000 to support lifesaving research, free su***de prevention education, advocacy, and support programs. Remember there is still time to make a difference and donate to this much needed mission at afsp.org/lawalk
