Unity in the Community – Alleghany County
October 1, 2022 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Unity in the Community; Linking Lives in Alleghany County
The event name reflects the intention of bringing neighbors and community together.
This is a Health and Wellness event, sponsored by Alleghany Lives: Suicide Awareness Coalition and Alleghany Wellness Coalition. It will be taking place on October 1, 2022 from 1:00-5:00 pm at Crouse Park.
The focus is on suicide awareness and prevention and mental health awareness with the goal of bringing resources together. We hope this event will help break down the barriers and stigma for those needing help and bring people together in a way that encourages unity and generates kindness and compassion for our community.
There are plans for prizes and a door prize drawing near the close of the event.
There will be a special presentation/program facilitated by Alleghany Lives Board Members. Special guest speakers and some educational material will be included.
The event will wrap up with a walk as a show of support for those who have lost loved ones to suicide: A demonstrative “Walk out of Darkness”, walking from the park to Main Street where Music on Main will be getting ready to begin its festivities.
If you would like to have a table or would like to donate gifts for prizes or funding, please contact Lynda Simmons (910-322-0527) or Olivia Farr (919-880-2126).
