Suicide Prevention Awareness Community Walk Save the Date & Vendor Info

Dear Community Partner,

The PICK’M Up Suicide Prevention Coalition is reaching out to invite you to participate as a vendor at our upcoming 2nd Annual Suicide Prevention Awareness Community Walk. This community event is focused on connection, awareness, and suicide prevention.

The event will take place on September 19, 2026, at Mora High School, from 9am-12pm. We anticipate attendance of 150 or more community members.

The PICK’M Up Suicide Prevention coalition is a collaborative group committed to reducing suicide and strengthening protective factors across Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs and Pine counties. Suicide rates in area remain higher than we would like to see, and this work is critical to ensuring individuals and families have access to support, resources, and hope. Events like this bring people together, reduce stigma, and connect individuals to meaningful services and supports.

We would be honored to have your organization join us by tabling at the event and sharing information about your services and resources. Your presence plays an important role in helping community members learn what supports are available and how to access help when it is needed most.

In addition to tabling, we invite participating vendors to consider providing an in-kind contribution by offering a family and/or youth-friendly activity at your table. Interactive activities help create a welcoming environment, encourage engagement, and make it easier for individuals of all ages to connect with resources in a comfortable way.
