New Rochelle, NY - The
Out of the Darkness Community Walks are 3-5 mile walks taking
place in over 200 communities across the country this fall. This particular walk took place at Croton Point
Park.
By walking in the Out of the Darkness Community Walks to benefit
the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), participants walked with
thousands of people nationwide to raise money for AFSP's vital research and
education programs to prevent suicide and save lives, increase national
awareness about depression and suicide, advocate for mental health issues, and
assist survivors of suicide loss.
The Women's Lacrosse team took an active role in the service event. They registered in all participants. They
gave out food and beverages. They were
posted at the half-way mark of the walk directing the walkers to the
appropriate walkway while also encouraging them. They even walked the 3 - 5 miles. This event is only one of the many community
service events our ladies will take part in.
