The Quest for 10,000 High Fives for Suicide Prevention at the Salem Fair!
Join New Country 107.9 YYD's Scott Stevens at the Salem Fair on July 3rd and 4th for his quest to get 10,000 high fives for suicide prevention and awareness!
Scott will be out in front of the Salem Fair on Wed., July 3rd and Thurs., July 4th from 4:00 pm until 10:00 pm each day grabbing high fives from fairgoers!
Also on hand will be volunteers from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention with information about their organization and other resources.
You can also learn about the Out of the Darkness charity walks coming this fall:
The Salem Fair opens Wed., July 3 and runs through Sun., July 14 with FREE gate admission!
The fair's hours are Weekdays 4-10 p.m. and Weekends 12 pm -10 p.m.
Suicide is currently the tenth leading cause of death in Virginia, and, nationally, more than four times the number of people die by suicide than in alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents.
“Our hope is that our Quest for Ten Thousand High Fives for Suicide Prevention will inspire the community to utilize available resources and will lead to more lives being saved,” said Scott, who, aside from being New Country 107.9 YYD's afternoon on-air host, is also a Board Member of the Virginia Chapter of AFSP.
