In addition to annual academic scholarships, one of the Foundation’s goals is to prevent suicide by funding a variety of public awareness and educational activities in our local schools and communities and to support organizations with similar goals. There is a tremendous need for mental health services including support groups to assist survivors by providing hope and the knowledge that they are not alone.
