Preceptor Gamma Psi raises funds for American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

The Preceptor Gamma Psi chapter of the Manassas Council in Virginia raised $855 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

The chapter also participated in the AFSP Out of the Darkness Walk in Manassas recently. Their team was the ninth largest fundraiser for the local walk. Along with participants, four chapter sisters and their family members participated in the 3.5-mile walk: Valerie Burke, Kim Howard, Nancy Schneider and Suzanne Seaberg.

“Everyone in our chapter was somehow touched by suicide and some of us more than once. Mental health is still a taboo subject in our culture. We wanted to chisel away at that and walk to honor the memory of family and friends who are no longer alive. Every life matters and every dollar counts,” said Kim Howard, vice president of Preceptor Gamma Psi.

Eighty cents of every dollar raised for AFSP goes toward funding. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death for adults between the ages of 15 and 64 in the U.S. and the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S.

The Manassas Walk raised more than $35,000 for AFSP.
