"Why We Walk" Photos
Send your loved one's photo for our NEW "Why We Walk" digital photo display.
Every year, at our AFSP Out of the Darkness Walk, we have photographs of our loved ones on display. New this year - our loved ones' photos will be displayed digitally on a large screen.
Because our walk attendance has grown (and keeps growing each year), if Sue Powderly has created a poster for your loved one for a previous walk, please let her know that you would like it used again. She will not be redesigning past posters/collages. If you are new to the walk and would like to have a photograph of your loved one included at this year’s walk, please email a photo and put "Walk Photo" in the subject line, and include in the body of the email the person's name, and any brief message you'd like displayed with the photo to Sue at: afspwalkpics@gmail.com
Photo file type should be jpeg and a high enough resolution that it can be enlarged without getting grainy. If you would like, you can send more than one photo, and Sue will design a collage.
When you send your photo, you will receive a reply from Sue stating that she received it. If you don't receive a reply within 3 days, please resend. The deadline to submit photo(s) is Sept. 13, 2024, but earlier is always appreciated!
