Levi Hospital recently announced its role as the Champion Level sponsor for the Hot Springs Out of the Darkness Community Walk in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The event will take place on September 9, 2023, at National Park College in Hot Springs, AR.
Registration for the event is free, but donations are highly encouraged. Participants can join Levi Hospital’s team, start their own, register to walk individually, or donate by visiting the Hot Springs Community Walk website or by contacting Walk Chair, Katina Bowden at katina@emotionalharmonywellness.com.
The walk is scheduled to start at 10:00 AM, with check-in beginning at 9:00 AM. The opening ceremony, led by Walk Chair Katina Bowden, will commence at 9:45 AM, followed by the closing ceremony and team prizes at 10:45 AM.
“We are honored to be the Champion Level sponsor for this year’s Out of the Darkness Walk,” said Jackie Arrison, Levi Hospital’s Vice President for Development. “As one of the area’s leading providers of psychiatric treatment, Levi is committed to supporting mental health and raising awareness about suicide prevention in Garland County and the surrounding area. This event provides an opportunity for our community to come together, show solidarity, and take a stand against the stigma experienced by so many in need of help.”
The Hot Springs Out of the Darkness Community Walk is more than just a walk; it’s a journey of remembrance, hope, and support for those affected by suicide. Hot Spring’s AFSP committee has set a fundraising goal of $20,000 for the event but hopes to exceed this amount.
By joining hands with the AFSP as Champion Level sponsor, Levi Hospital aims to shed light on the profound impact of suicide and mental health conditions on our lives and the lives of our loved ones. The funds raised will support AFSP’s programs and initiatives to prevent suicide and offer support to those affected by mental health conditions.
