The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention will hold its Out of the Darkness walk for Denton and Collin counties at Little Elm Park on Sunday, Nov. 15.
Check-in opens at 1 p.m. at the Little Elm Park amphitheater, and the walk starts at 2 p.m., according to the foundation's event page. The town's tourism site lists the event from 2 to 4 p.m. at the park, 701 W. Eldorado Parkway.
The walk is not a race. Routes run between 1 and 3 miles, and the foundation says the course will be posted closer to the day. The afternoon includes an opening ceremony, what organizers describe as activities of hope and healing, tables with mental health resources, and honor beads handed out free to every walker.
Out of the Darkness walks are held in communities across the country each year. Money raised supports the foundation's research, advocacy and education programs, according to the event page, and people can sign up as individuals or teams through the foundation's walk registration site. The listings do not give a fundraising goal or a participation count.
The event appears on Discover Little Elm, the town's tourism calendar, which also lists the town's tourism office as a contact.
