On Sunday, October 7, the Notre Dame Cheerleaders participated in the Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention and Awareness Walk in Hamden. Money raised supports research aimed at improving our understanding of suicide and ways to prevent it, as well as educational programs to increase awareness about prevention, warning signs and the psychiatric illnesses that can lead to suicide. Over $400 was collected for this fundraising event. 
The morning began with Mass in the Notre Dame Chapel followed by the 3.75 mile walk.  Thank you so much to all who donated money and time to this cause.
