The Out of the Darkness Campus Walk is a journey of remembrance, hope, support, and a walk that unites a campus and community, a time to acknowledge the ways in which suicide and mental illness have affected our lives and our loved ones. The 5k walk is a fundraiser for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

When you walk in the Out of the Darkness Walks, you join the effort with hundreds of thousands of people to raise awareness and funds that allow AFSP to invest in new research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy and support survivors of suicide loss.

As the leader in the fight against suicide, and thanks to walkers like you from cities across the country, AFSP has been able to set a goal to reduce the annual suicide rate 20% by 2025.

Admission for the walk is free however donations are appreciated.

To register online, visit: https://afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=register.start&eventID=6035.

Online registration closes at noon the Friday before the walk. However, anyone who would like to participate can register in person at the walk from the time check-in begins until the walk starts.

Walk donations will be accepted until June 30, 2019. The Out of the Darkness at Virginia Tech group team for fundraising is called 'Hokies in the Light' and you can join after you register.
