The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is holding a suicide prevention walk (Hudson River Walk) on Sunday, October 13th at 12 noon. The FREE 3-mile walk begins near the Exchange Place PATH station at the J. Grundy Pier.

It’s free to register and you don’t have to donate or fund-raise unless you feel like it. Please register here. You can also register in-person at the walk on Sunday.

If you can’t make it but would like to donate, please do that here. The funds raised at this event are utilized to help raise awareness and bring us closer to a world without suicide.

Please join me, as this is a cause close to my heart.

 

Let’s save some lives!

Happy Labor Day!

categories: Community/ Volunteers, This Weekend in Jersey City

starsThanks to all of the hard-working Americans who keep our country running. Happy Labor Day!

I didn’t report on the Jersey City scene last week, as I was on vacation in a place with no internet access—yes, really. I highly recommend taking a tech break every now and then.

Now that I’m back, expect plenty of new content.

 

Cheers,
JCG
