AFSP/TCSP Out of the Darkness Community Walk
 

The 5th Annual Triangle Out of the Darkness Community Walk will take place in Raleigh.
Date: Sunday, November 7, 2010
Times: Check in 1:00 – 2:30
           Walk starts at 2:30

Location: State Capitol (One Edenton Street) – Hillsborough Street side
Route: we will start at the State Capitol (One Edenton St.) – Hillsborough Street side, walk down Hillsborough Street, enjoy a water break at the NC State University bell tower and head back down Hillsborough Street.

A local band performing, refreshments, raffle drawing, and sharing memories will take place back at the Capitol. The 5K walk can be walked at a leisurely pace, as we are concerned about suicide awareness and not so much speed. 

Parking (free on the weekend) will be available at the following locations:
State parking lot at the corner of Hillsborough and Salisbury (closest to the starting point)
Behind the First Baptist Church –McDowell and Hillsborough
Museum parking located at Edenton and Blount – 1 block east
Wilmington Street – 1/2 block south of Capitol (parking deck)

Join us as we enjoy the lush green grounds of the State Capitol, walk past many Raleigh historic sites and feel great about sharing the fact that suicide can come out of the darkness! Register today!
