Construction Hike for Hope - Long Island

Join us on May 18, 2025

Welcome to Construction Hike for Hope - Long Island

The Construction Hike for Hope is an event meant to engage the construction industry on the importance of mental health and suicide prevention.  According to the CDC's data on suicide risk within occupational groups, the construction and extraction industries were found to to have the highest rate of suicide in the U.S. 

We invite all to join us, you don't need to be part of the construction industry to participate in the hike! 

Join us as we combine efforts across the state of  New York with Hikes planned in April and May. 

 In lieu of a participation fee please consider a donation to help break the stigma.
