Important Announcement from The David D. D'Angelo Foundation!
To our incredible supporters, friends, and community:
After seven years of hosting our annual suicide prevention fundraiser, it is with a heavy heart that we share the news that this year’s event, originally scheduled for August 3rd, has been canceled.
D'Angelo went on to say that the decision was not made lightly.
Every year, this event has served as more than just a fundraiser; it’s been a space for healing, unity, remembrance, and action. Suicide prevention is deeply personal to us, and it remains one of the most urgent and important issues we face. It’s why we started this journey in the first place. We’ve lost too many. And we've promised to never stay silent.
While we won’t gather in person this year, our mission doesn’t stop here. We’re using this time to reflect, regroup, and prepare to return even stronger; because the work doesn’t end with one event, and neither does our commitment to it.
We want to thank every single one of you who has walked beside us over the last 7 years. Whether you donated, attended, volunteered, or simply shared our message you’ve helped create something that truly made a difference. Your support has brought light to dark places.
If you or someone you love is struggling, please don’t wait. Reach out. Talk. There is always help. You are never alone.
With love and deep gratitude,
The David D. D'Angelo Foundation 😘❤️
