Join us at Wisconsin's gorgeous Devil's Lake State Park or Marsh Haven Nature Center!

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 have the highest rate of suicide in the United States.

You have two beautiful sites to choose from! Join us from either Devil's Lake State Park in Baraboo, WI or Marsh Haven Nature Center in Waupun, WI. Participants who raise $150 by Hike Day will receive our official Construction Hike for Hope T-shirt!
