One of the highlights of our annual LinkUp & Listen gala event this year was the live auction, where seven friends of CrisisLink each donated the funds to support a full day of CrisisLink's 24/7 Crisis & Suicide Prevention Hotlines, so we can continue to save lives and prevent tragedies 24/7 everyday.
CrisisLink helps nearly 70 people in crisis each day. Calls are up 65%, and suicide-related calls are up 67% since 2004.
To learn more about how you can sponsor a day, e-mail or call (703-516-6768) our Development office.
