Explorers Credit Union is proud to help sponsor the Bridging Yankton Step Forward to Prevent Suicide Walk. This event is more than a walk—it’s a commitment to hope, help, and healing for those in our community who may be suffering in silence.
Suicide touches far too many lives, and together we can shine light into the darkness. We invite our Difference Makers to join in showing support, raising awareness, and walking in unity for those we have lost, those who are struggling, and those who need to know they are not alone.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth and young adults in South Dakota, and nearly all of us have been touched by its impact. This is our chance to stand together, support prevention programs, and let those who are struggling know they are not alone.
Walk alongside us on September 6th as we step forward to prevent suicide. All participants must register and sign an event waiver.
Invite your friends and family to join the movement.
You can invite Friends & Family to donate to our goal by having them:
TEXT “BridgingYankton11” to 71777
A link will be sent to them asking for their support our United Way Fundraiser.
Or invite them to join us for the walk!
