Samuel Shaer Suicide Awareness 5K

Stay; You’re not alone.

Welcome to the 4th Annual Samuel Shaer Suicide Awareness 5K! Today, we gather to remember and honor the life of Samuel Shaer, a courageous individual who fought a battle within his mind and sadly lost his life on May 11, 2023. This event serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of mental health and the urgent need to raise awareness about suicide prevention.

All proceeds raised during this event will be dedicated to the counseling fund, a vital resource that provides professional counseling services to those in need. By contributing, you directly support the individuals and families who are grappling with mental health challenges.
