The Willow’s Run Board has come to a difficult decision. We have decided to dissolve Willow’s Run and focus our efforts toward individual volunteer opportunities. We appreciate all the support from our volunteers, sponsors, participants, and especially our hardworking Board. We will continue to work individually to prevent suicide and erase the stigma of mental illness that prevents people from getting timely help.

We are stronger together and will continue individually to seek hope, help, and healing. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
