Hike for Hope: Building Strength, Breaking Stigma
Our construction workers aren’t just building our communities—they’re part of them. Yet, the construction industry faces one of the highest suicide rates in the U.S. It’s time to change that.
Join AFSP and leaders in the construction industry for the Hike for Hope, a community event.
This event is open to everyone—because mental health affects us all. Instead of a participation fee, please consider a donation to help break the stigma and bring hope to those who need it most.

Sponsoring the Hike for Hope shows your community and employees that your business cares about mental health and preventing suicide. Become a partner to help stop this leading cause of death.
