Come on out and join us on Sunday, November 4th. Support Pick With Austin as we help to promote Awareness for Suicide Prevention at the 2012 Out of the Darkness walk event in Austin, Texas.
Our foundation will have a booth at the event and we will be distributing suicide prevention awareness literature to the public. We will also be celebrating "Alan's Gift of Music" by raffling off an acoustic guitar (no cost for kids and teens to participate in the raffle!).
Pick With Austin would also like to have an active walk team joining the hundreds of others who will be walking in memory of loved ones whom they have lost.
This walk also serves to help spread awareness to our communities about Suicide Prevention.
This year's Out of the Darkness walk event will take place starting at 1pm at the State Capitol building in Austin, TX.
