Charlottesville,
virginia
In an effort to unite the Charlottesville community and promote suicide prevention, students and alumni are hosting first-ever Fight Against Suicide event series.
Led by passionate student volunteers, these events combine fitness, talks from trained addiction and trauma counselors, and community activation to foster a culture that prioritizes mental fitness over mental illness.
Together, we’re fighting not just for awareness — but for connection, action, and lasting change.
