 | | The Big Papi Blues Engine |
In 2013 we are continuing to increase the noise and conversation about suicide prevention and why the work of Samaritans makes our communities a happier and healthier place to be. We hope you will consider joining us for some of our Happier Boston events in 2013. The most recent Happier Boston offering is "Everybody Gets the Blues!" which has so far featured a Pop Up Blues concert at South Station on December 14th, the release of the Big Papi Blues and the Mayor Menino Pothole Blues radio PSA's which can also be heard on the Blues Engine section of the happierboston.org website. Visit the Blues Engine today to make and share your own version of the Big Papi or the Mayor Menino Blues. We love how much this campaign is increasing the conversation about suicide prevention in Boston. Please read the following wonderful articles that came out last month in the Boston Globe and the New York Times, or watch the great interview with Gene Lavanchy on Fox News. More press is coming, and we hope to share with you soon about some exciting national attention that this campaign is bringing to the important work of suicide prevention.
Best wishes for a happy 2013, 
Roberta Hurtig
