Annual Giving Society
Circle of Hope is a passionate group of individuals dedicated to funding efforts to prevent suicide through a personal gift to the Georgia Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Through society member support, life-saving strategies and programs will be brought to local Georgia communities so we can one day build a world without suicide. Join us today as a charter member of this new society and become a partner in saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide.
"Suicide takes more than 48,000 lives a year, making it the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. I lost my eldest daughter Michelle, a first responder, to suicide. Through my grieving and healing journey, I connected with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and have found solace and hope. AFSP provided me with hope that we can save lives by creating a culture where mental health is a priority and bold steps are taken in the prevention of suicide." Sally Dorn - Chair, Georgia Circle of Hope Giving Society |
