On Sunday, November 15th, staff members, family, and former and current clients (and Joey!) represented Magnolia Creek in the Birmingham annual Out of the Darkness Walk at Heardmont Park.
Team members raised $370 toward our $1,000 goal. Through volunteer work coordinated by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, another $1,619.22 was raised making a total team fundraising amount of $1,989.22 for the Creek.
The event hosted a total of 1,300 walkers, surpassing its goal to raise $120,000 to support families who have lost a loved one to suicide and to support suicide prevention research. The state of Alabama receives back 50% of money collected to support localized efforts within our state.
Thanks to all who walked or supported Creek members who did. It was a beautiful day - we all worked to save lives!
