Mat-Su College Out of the Darkness Suicide Awareness Walk

Mat-Su College and the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention (AFSP) want to invite you to participate in the 2025 Mat-Su College Out of the Darkness Campus Walk.
•Nationwide, Alaska ranks 2nd in suicide related deaths.
•Suicide is the #1 cause of death for Alaskans between 10-24 years old.
•Among all age groups, suicide is the 7th leading cause of death in Alaska.
•Each year, around 200 Alaskans die from suicide – 30 of those are from the Mat-Su Valley.
This loss of life is entirely avoidable - but not if we avoid talking about it!
The Mat-Su College Out of the Darkness Campus Walk will be held on May 3, 2025. Check-in will begin at 11am with the actual walk starting at noon. You can sign up to participate, or make a donation at www.afsp.org/matsu.
