When a community comes together - Great things can happen!

"We recently lost a dear friend and member of our community. As a result, we created a team to walk in honor of his memory and in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is at the forefront of research, education and prevention initiatives designed to reduce loss of life from suicide. With more than 40,000 lives lost each year in the U.S. and over one million worldwide, the importance of AFSP's mission has never been greater, nor our work more urgent. Our team was the top team at this walk with over 50 participants. Working with the team at CustomInk - during this very emotional time - was a such a blessing. They made the creation of our team shirts easy. We designed the shirts and they helped us order, made sure everything looked perfect and, made sure that our shirts were delivered by the guaranteed delivery date. They accommodated last minute reorders - 4 days before the event - to ensure that our last minute walkers had team shirts. Everyone wanted these shirts - everyone had their shirts on time - and they were perfect! The back of our shirts read "Whoever saves a single life, it is as if he as saved the entire world" - a quote from the Talmud. People all along the walk stopped us to take pictures of our shirts and ask about why we were walking and in honor of whom. Customink - you made it possible to carry our message and help the family of our friend feel the support of their community. You also partnered with us to raise over $7000.00 towards prevention, education and awareness. Thank you so much! Remember that suicide is a permanent fix to a temporary problem. If you or someone you know is thinking about harming themselves, reach out and let them know that there is help - they are not alone!
