DFW Metro Walk
Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States. To prevent suicide, we need to understand it first. Funds raised at the Out of the Darkness DFW Metro Walk directly support research, advocacy efforts, and educational programs in schools, workplaces, and communities across TX.
Event Agenda
Sign up today to make sure you receive important updates about the Walk from the local organizers.
The Walks are an opportunity to find a supportive community of people who get it, to know you're not alone, and to make a difference together.
Walks are between 1 to 3 miles and non-competitive. The route and additional information specific to the DFW Metro Walk will be added closer to Walk day.
Our program includes an opening ceremony, activities of hope and healing, resource tables, and complimentary honor beads for every participant.
Register today and you're taking the first step to help save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. It's free, quick, and easy to make a real impact.
Event Details
Together, we're leading the fight against suicide
Since 1987, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) has grown from a grassroots network of researchers and volunteers into a national movement with chapters in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. AFSP is also the largest private funder of suicide prevention research, and because we've built the infrastructure to deliver evidence-based programs to local communities across the country, our work impacts millions of people. We are consistently ranked one of the best charities for mental health, and we're powered by everyday heroes like you.
A look at the numbers...
$80.1 million invested since 1987
$30 million per year invested in research, advocacy, and programs
$9.1 million invested in the creation of 27 new grants
