\"\"<\/a>Join an All Souls team to participate in the Northwest Louisiana Out of the Darkness Walk<\/a> sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention<\/a> (Saturday, 7 November 2026 at 9:00 AM — Betty Virginia Park, Shreveport, Louisiana<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Out of the Darkness Walks take place in cities throughout the country.<\/p>\n

Community members from Shreveport \/ Bossier City and surrounding communities will gather on Saturday (7 November 2026) to help save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.<\/p>\n

This is a family-friendly community event featuring community resources, music, activities, a butterfly release, refreshments, a silent auction, and a walk around beautiful Betty Virginia Park (0.9 miles) to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention.<\/p>\n

Half the proceeds are devoted to suicide prevention resources in the local community, while the other half goes to the national organization supporting their four core pillars:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Education<\/strong> — in schools, universities, and workplaces to help communities identify mental health warning signs<\/li>\n
  2. Support for Loss Survivors<\/strong> — financing healing networks and other resources tailored for local needs<\/li>\n
  3. Research<\/strong> — Financing grants to study the biological, genetic, and behavioral risk factors to improve intervention<\/li>\n
  4. Policy Advocacy<\/strong> — supporting volutneers and staff who lobby at state and national levels for mental health legislation, including the rollout of the national 988 hotline<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All Souls is creating a team to enter the walk — you can join the team at our team link here<\/a>.\u00a0 The link will direct you to create your own individual registration link and an opportunity to create your own individual fundraising page.<\/p>\n

    You will have the option to set an individual fundraising goal and — if you like — make a donation toward that goal (although your personal donation is not required).<\/p>\n

    Our team fundraising goal is $250 — but our hope is that between our September 2026 give-away-the-plate funds<\/a> and our individual fundraising pages — that we have set that goal modestly and can easily surpass it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
