Topeka Out of the Darkness Community Walk

The Topeka Out of the Darkness Community Walk is part of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's nationwide walk series, uniting people affected by suicide and their supporters to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and fund suicide-prevention programs. Held at Garfield Park, the walk is free to join, though participants are encouraged to fundraise for the cause. It is a powerful, supportive gathering: survivors of loss, people with lived experience, families, and allies come together to honor loved ones, find community, and send the message that every life matters and help is available. Alongside the walk, these events typically include honor beads, resource tables, and moments of remembrance. Whether you are walking in memory of someone, seeking connection, or standing in solidarity, all are welcome to be part of the movement to save lives.
