Event Overview

Damian Henning was a 17 year old junior at Western Reserve High School. His life was tragically lost to suicide on November 11, 2019. Our goal is to bring education into our schools in the community about suicide and how we can prevent it. Our community has mourned too many young lives lost in the last decade. We need your help and participation to make a change! All proceeds to be used to send interested students to Suicide Prevention Education Seminars.
