“Out of the Darkness” Suicide-Prevention San Francisco Walk

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention on World Suicide Prevention Day, Saturday, September 10th, for the San Francisco Out of the Darkness Community Walk! This event of remembrance, hope, and support unites our communities and provides an opportunity to acknowledge the ways in which suicide and mental health conditions have affected our lives and the lives of those we love.

We will have a Community Partners Resource Fair and an Honor & Remembrance Area setup at the event site. We encourage walkers to use public transportation/BART when travelling to the Pier 27 Transportation Area, such as BART to The Embarcadero station and walking from there or catching the F – Fisherman’s Wharf, getting off at The Embarcadero & Bay St stop. You can also find exact directions from your location by clicking here to use Google Maps. For driving directions, please click here. There are also multiple parking garages along the Embarcadero between Pier 27 and the Ferry Building.

Our walk route is approximately 2.6 miles. The route will be from Pier 27, down The Embarcadero to Rincon Park (the bow & arrow) and back. If the distance is too much, folks are able to turn around and head back to the site at any point on the route or to remain at the event site while walkers are on the route.
