ABOUT THE FUNDRAISER:
To learn more about the AFSP, the Out of the Darkness Walks, and my commitment to this cause, OR if you cannot attend but would still like to support the cause, check out my donation page at
https://www.theovernight.org/participant/Kenna2025. I have been fundraising for this important organization since 2002. “Crescent Cropportunity” is named in memory of my soul-sister Kristina, who we lost to suicide in 2006, and the crescent moon was our sorority symbol. You will have the opportunity to earn an additional door prize by completing a coloring page about why suicide prevention & mental health awareness are important to YOU. ♡
I'm SO grateful to all of you who keep coming back every year AND to those who are trying us out for the first time! See you SOON!
