Annual Giving Society
Circle of Hope is a passionate group of individuals dedicated to funding efforts to prevent suicide through a personal gift to one of California's seven Chapters of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Through society member support, life-saving strategies and programs will be brought to local California communities so we can one day build a world without suicide.
