This is a past event.

Join Michigan Tech alumni and friends for a day of meaningful community service at the Out of the Darkness Chicagoland Walk in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. On Saturday, October 21, 2023, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. CT, we invite you to be a part of the Walk Route Encouragement Squad, a crucial role in uplifting walkers as they reach the halfway point of their journey. It's a simple yet profoundly impactful way to support those who are walking for this noble cause. The walk is taking place at Montrose Harbor located at 601 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60613. 

To sign up you must complete two steps: 

• RSVP with Michigan Tech Alumni Engagement here

All alumni and their families can participate in volunteering, no age restrictions.  This volunteer day is part of a larger "Make A Difference" month both regionally and on campus. Throughout the month of October, we are coming together as a united community to engage in various projects that embody the spirit of giving back.
