At AFSP, our mission is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.

Each year, we honor individuals and organizations that have made a substantial contribution to suicide prevention at our annual Lifesavers Gala. Traditionally, the event is held live in New York City and available to a limited group of attendees.

But this year’s Lifesavers Gala is unlike any other – a virtual extravaganza that you can be a part of no matter where you are, with tickets starting at $50. We hope you’ll join us, and be a part of our yearly effort to raise money to continue our important research, advocacy, and education and support programs.

The first of its kind, this year’s virtual Lifesavers Gala lets you take part in a special evening that will include an opportunity to bid in an online auction filled with special items, while distinguished guests including David Axelrod & Karl Rove, both survivors of suicide loss from separate sides of the political aisle, share inspiring stories about their personal connections and experiences related to this important cause. We will honor Lorenzo P. Lewis, founder of The Confess Project, which takes an innovative approach to building a culture that’s smart about mental health for boys, men of color, and their families, by empowering and educating barbers to be mental health advocates. Longtime AFSP supporters, Ray and Mary Anne Burke will be recognized for their efforts to raise awareness and prevent suicide in the military veteran community. Lastly, we will present Dr. Edwin Boudreaux with our Research Award.

We’re so excited for this year’s event, and hope you can join us on May 19!
