Phi Kappa Psi - Jake Vail

My event is an educational concert with local performers for the students of Virginia Tech. The money from this campaign will go towards the set up and operation of a large concert to benefit The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The "Raise Your Voice with Vail" Concert will educate the public on suicide prevention while providing a relaxed platform for people to talk. The concert will be open to the public and will be held at Virginia Tech with the date and time TBA. The concert will collect money via ticket sales and donations that will benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Throughout the concert, in between performances will be information regarding how to recognize a friend in distress and how to go about supporting a friend at risk. The main goal of the concert is to get people to understand that talking and reaching out really does save lives. My intention is to arm students on campus with knowledge and support while benefiting AFSP which advocates for Suicide Prevention on a national scale.
