Suicide Prevention Awareness PSA Campaign
Tax deductible
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Each year, the Grand Canyon State Gridiron Club (GCSGC) partners with Teen Lifeline and the National Quarterback Club (NQBC) to produce a series of Public Service Announcements (PSAs) that feature select Arizona high school football players. The messages are designed to provide hope to troubled teens and reduce the incidence of suicide and attempted suicide among teens in Arizona. The PSAs are channeled through athlete social media accounts and other various outlets throughout September.
Please donate to support the annual production of the Suicide Prevention Awareness PSAs. Your generosity helps support studio and videography coordination and distribution project management, along with Suicide Prevention Awareness activation at select Arizona high school football games in September.
The filming and distribution of Suicide Prevention Awareness PSAs is part of GCSGC's 'Physical and Mental Well-being of Student Athletes' program. GCSGC is a perpetual advocate for enhanced emphasis on physical and mental well-being of student athletes, including areas of substance abuse, crisis and suicide intervention, and social media activities.
