What We Do
Erin has been participating in the Greater Philadelphia Chapter Out of the Darkness walks since October 2015 in memory of her father who took his life when she was six years old. Each year she participates she is motivated to raise more money than the year before. She has hosted multiple dance and restaurant fundraisers over the past four years along with acquiring dozens of local business donations for raffle baskets. Music has been such a big part of her life since she was younger. It was something that connected her with her father. So when brainstorming the idea for a new fundraiser, a concert was the first thing to come to mind. Our first concert was on May 14, 2022 in Wilmington, Delaware. We joined together for an exciting night of live music for a great cause and had such an amazing night that we decided to do it again in Somerville, Massachusetts on September 23, 2023.
In April 2024 Erin began a Hold on til Dawn podcast focused on mental health, suicide prevention, the AFSP, and music. We are so excited for this next chapter of Hold on til Dawn. Our episodes can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and Youtube. New Episodes are released every other Tuesday. We can't wait to continue spreading awareness and funds for mental health and suicide prevention for years to come.
