Parish Events
Join the St Ann Mother Teresa Respect Life Group for the annual Hagerstown Out of the Darkness Walk to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. We are partnering with the Aiden Matthew Ripple Effect Foundation & walking with their team “In Memory of Aiden Matthew.” Join our team at this link: https://supporting.afsp.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.team&teamID=289251.
Our goal as a team is to raise $5000. Funds raised will benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Maryland Chapter. To help raise money, you can post your Out of the Darkness walk link to ask for donations &/or we have fundraising opportunities to also help raise money and awareness. There is Suicide Prevention apparel, suicide prevention bracelets & pretzel sandwiches available for sale. All items you sell will help get you to your $150 goal to get a free 2022 Out of the Darkness t-shirt & will all go towards AFSP.
Here is all our fundraising info. Please know, there is no fundraising obligation to be able to walk. We also encourage everyone who is coming to the walk, to purchase an apparel item to wear that day, to represent our “In Memory of Aiden Matthew” team.
