Charity - Last year the BCDL community helped my wife raise money for Cystic Fibrosis research. The BCDL community helped make a generous donation of $2,000 possible last year. This year we're raising money to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). AFSP recognizes that the trauma, loss, bias, disparities, and other unique challenges that certain populations continue to face can contribute to risk for suicide. AFSP is dedicated to breaking down these barriers and inequities and to addressing the specific needs of these communities and populations in the development of policy solutions. These solutions aim to reduce suicidal thoughts, prevent suicide attempts and deaths, promote healing, and provide care and support for those who have lost loved ones to suicide. You can find more information about the AFSP's work on their website at https://afsp.org/.
To support AFSP we'll be doing another raffle all weekend with great prizes. Prizes will be drawn on Sunday afternoon. You do not need to be present to win. Prizes will be announced at a later date closer to the event. If you're interested in donating prizes to this great cause please reach out to me by email at [email protected].
