Join us at the 28th Annual Samaritans 5K for a powerful morning of connection, reflection, and hope dedicated to ending suicide together. Each year this event brings our community together during Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month to honor loved ones lost to suicide and reduce the stigma associated with mental health struggles. Whether you walk,
“I have the chance to be the support I never received.”
That’s how one Hey Sam team member describes what it means to work on Samaritans’ peer-to-peer mental health textline for people up to age 24.
Since its launch in 2022, Hey Sam has held over 16,000 text conversations with young people feeling overwhelmed, lonely, or suicidal. Teenagers and young adults are trained to ask difficult questions and listen without judgment, small steps that can have a big impact on someone who is struggling.
Join our community for a special evening celebrating the impact we’ve made together and honoring those who make our lifesaving work possible. Hear how Keynote Speaker Wendy Tomaiolo, a Samaritans volunteer and suicide loss survivor, found strength in belonging through Samaritans.
Join us on Sunday, November 2, 2025 to cheer on our amazing Team Samaritans for the TCS New York City Marathon! This will be our 5th year running in NYC
Save the Date! Join us at our Breakfast for Hope, celebrating over 52 years of lifesaving impact and looking ahead to a future where every conversation counts. Breakfast for Hope
