I am having a Charity Poker Fund Raiser. It is to raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Please sign up on the blog if you are interested in coming.

On the night of June 7, 2008, my wife Donna, will be participating in a very special event to help the fight to prevent suicide. It is called the Out of Darkness Overnight. It is a 20 mile walk in NYC from dusk till dawn. The walk is to raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. AFSP is a non profit organization with the mission of understanding and preventing suicide through research and education and reaching out to people with mood disorders and those affected by suicide.

About 10% of the population suffers from depression. Of the 44 million who suffer from a mental disorder, only a third receive treatment. There are 30,000 lives lost each year to suicide. A suicide attempt occurs each minute of each day. A person dies of suicide every 16 minutes in the U.S. This year, 1 out of every 12 teenagers will attempt suicide.

Besides the poker tournament you can make a donation through the web site
