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.
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!

the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention will be able to maximize our mission
impact by reaching and serving more people through our lifesaving programs and

Why Support the Pensacola Walk?
We have a strong and resilient community that is united in our effort to fight suicide,
raise awareness, educate our communities, support those who have lost loved ones,
and support those with lived experience.
Mental health and suicide prevention are more important than ever, and we’re
confident that with your help, we can reach more people than ever before.
Suicide is one of the leading causes of death for most age groups.
Suicide is preventable. Mental health affects everyone, and it's going to take
everyone's help to fight suicide.
