The Emerge 5k is our biggest annual fundraiser, and the funds we raise ensure that we can continue to fulfill our organizational mission of breaking the social and financial barriers to mental health care for youth. Each year, Rise Against Suicide funds thousands of therapy sessions for youth under the age of 19 who are uninsured or underinsured and burdened with suicidal ideation.

The Rise Against Suicide Emerge 5k is not just another race; it’s a movement. It’s an opportunity for people to come together and show their support for the youth in our community who are struggling with mental health issues. It’s a chance for us to honor the memories of those we have lost to suicide and to prevent future tragedies.
