Who We Are

We are a group of Sam’s family and close friends, who, when confronted with Sam’s passing from suicide in 2020, decided to honor him by devoting our time and energy to supporting mental health awareness and suicide prevention causes.

Our mission is simple.

Saving Lives through Awareness, Prevention, and Hope.

Since 2021, we have raised over 1 million dollars, which was donated to our partners - organizations working with young adults, creating awareness about suicide, preventing suicide, and providing hope to those affected by suicide.

We have chosen to focus specifically on young adults - between the ages of 15 and 25 - during a decade of intense changes in their lives. As they journey through finishing high school, navigating college, and starting a professional career, they will also be going through a myriad of shifting, changing relationships - with parents who are adjusting to having an adult child, with friends, and with romantic partners. Through providing stability, support, and intervention, we aim to help them successfully navigate their journey to adulthood.

We miss Sam dearly. He was always the funniest person in the room, a tremendous athlete and competitor, and, more importantly, a beloved friend, brother, and son. Unfortunately, his story of a life cut short by suicide is far too common in today’s world, especially among young adults. We want to continue to remember the joy and impact Sam’s life had on us and to support organizations focused on helping others struggling with similar obstacles to those Sam struggled with.
