$2,630 Raised for Be The Light Walk

Support Suicide Prevention & Survivor Support in Northeast Wisconsin!

Our community’s battle against suicide has never been more critical—the need never greater. Your help is needed now.

National suicide deaths increased by 35% between 1999 and 2018, according to the CDC. Isolation, fear and anxiety have spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic. So have job loss, financial concerns and alcohol use. These are all contributing factors to suicide and are likely to create a perfect storm of tragedy and loss.

Nineteen years ago, our community banded together to form the Brown County Coalition for Suicide Prevention to lead the fight against suicide through awareness, outreach and support. The Coalition’s hallmark event, Be the Light Walk, held annually in downtown Green Bay, has drawn more than 18,000 participants in its 17-year history. This event will light up the night and continue to build awareness and work toward our goal of prevention, intervention, and postvention on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
