Hey guys! With a new year comes a new campaign, and you guys did a LOT to help suicide prevention last year with your donations, so I wanted to update this thread with info about this year's campaign. This year's National Suicide Prevention Week is Sept. 7-13 and World Suicide Prevention Day is Sept. 10, and our campaign this year is called We'll See You Tomorrow.
We have a new fundraising campaign this year where people can make financial donations, or people can even set up their own fundraising pages to help. If you'd like to donate, you can either do so through our main campaign page, or through my individual fundraising page that goes directly to our campaign: My fundraising page. My personal goal for my fundraising page is $500, but our overall campaign goal is $75,000, and every dollar raised through this campaign will go directly to suicide prevention. We also have a World Suicide Prevention Day Pack available on our store that comes with a shirt and a bracelet, and also includes posters and info cards to use to spread awareness for suicide prevention.
Thank you guys SO MUCH for the donations you made last year, and I hope you can help again this year!
-------------------- Last Year's Campaign Info Below --------------------
Normally I don't really do a whole lot to direct people to the company I work for, but we're doing a big campaign right now that could really use your help. I'm the Director of Design for a company called To Write Love on Her Arms, a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. You can check out our website here for more info on who we are and what we do: TWLOHA.com
Right now we're running a fundraising campaign for our involvement in this year's National Suicide Prevention Week (Sept. 8-14) and World Suicide Prevention Day (Sept. 10). We're currently running a StayClassy campaign where people can make financial donations, or people can even set up their own fundraising pages to help. If you'd like to donate, you can either do so through our main campaign page, or through my individual fundraising page that goes directly to our campaign: My fundraising page.
With their fundraising efforts, supporters can help us challenge the stigma associated with mental health and provide support and treatment for those affected by suicide. From now until the end of NSPW, every dollar raised through this NSPW 2014 StayClassy page will go directly to suicide prevention. (Here's a page that explains what TWLOHA does with the donations that we receive outside of this particular campaign.)
tl;dr - My company is raising money for suicide prevention. Your donations help!
