Thank you to everyone who attended the 10th Annual Walk for Hope. Your presence shows the strength of this community and our shared commitment to hope, connection, and su***de prevention here in Columbia County.
We’re grateful to all sponsors, basket donors, and partners who helped make this event possible. Your support keeps our community connected and ensures we can continue offering resources throughout the year.
A special thank‑you to our Diamond Level Sponsors — Aspirus, Rhyme, and the Wack ’Em Fore Pauley Foundation — for their outstanding dedication to this cause.
We also want to thank Kati Beck for being our speaker and sharing an important message about connectedness and the value of community resources. Her insight helps strengthen the support available to individuals and families across the county.
And a heartfelt thank‑you to Chad with the Whack 'Em Fore Pauley . Chad raised over $20,000 this year to support su***de prevention efforts, and his continued generosity allows the coalition to offer the Walk for Hope free for everyone. His commitment helps keep this event welcoming, accessible, and grounded in community support.
To every attendee, volunteer, sponsor, and partner: thank you for showing up, spreading hope, and helping us continue this work.
Together, we make a difference.
