Out of the Darkness Walk Coming to Oakley  

In the last year and half the City of Oakley has endured an unusually high number of suicides spanning a range of ages, ethnicities and gender. The reasons for suicide are often very complicated and can leave family, friends and community members wondering why or what could we have done to prevent it.

 

To help raise awareness in our community, Oakley City Councilmember Vanessa Perry has reached out to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention  (AFSP) and organized Oakley's first "Out of the Darkness Walk." The walk is scheduled for Saturday, October 10th at Cypress Grove Community Park located at 4001 Frank Hengel Way. Registration will begin at 9:00 a.m. and the walk at 10:00 a.m. To register, donate or to learn more, please click here.
