💙 THANK YOU! 💙

This past Saturday, we held our 15th Annual Su***de Prevention 5K, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude for our incredible community!

With 221 registered participants, plus so many amazing supporters cheering everyone on from the sidelines, it was a truly inspiring morning at Colby Lake Park. From the Resource Fair to the finish line, your energy and commitment reminded us of the power of community in raising awareness, ending stigma, and bringing hope to those affected by mental illness and su***de.

A big thank you to all of our participants, volunteers, resource partners, and generous event sponsors for making our 15th year such a success!

Together, we are making a difference. Visit su***depreventioncollaborativemn.org to stay connected with our mission.
