Mat-Su College Out of the Darkness Awareness Walk

Mat-Su College and the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention (AFSP) want to invite you to participate in the 2025 Mat-Su College Out of the Darkness Campus Walk.

•Nationwide Alaska ranks 2nd in suicide related deaths. 

•Suicide is the #1 cause of death for Alaskans between 10-24 years old. 

•Among all age groups suicide is the 7th leading cause of death in Alaska. 

•Each year around 200 Alaskans die from suicide – 30 of those are from the Mat-Su Valley.

This loss of life is entirely avoidable - but not if we avoid talking about it!

The Mat-Su College Out of the Darkness Campus Walk will be held on May 3 2025. Check-in will begin at 11am with the actual walk starting at noon. You can sign up to participate or make a donation at www.afsp.org/matsu.
