Donate to SJU's 2024 Out of the Darkness Walk

Want to help Saint Joseph's University raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention?

My name is Caroline Freese and I am the co-chair for Saint Joseph's University's Out of the Darkness Walk for the 2024-2025 year.

In 2015, a member of the Saint Joseph's University community lost their life to suicide. Since then, the community has come together every year in November to honor their life and the lives of others who battle with mental health issues.

I would love it if you would join me and the SJU Dean's Leadership community in raising awareness about suicide prevention. All of the money raised will benefit and be donated to Active Minds, Inc., and any donation will help create an impact.
