Raise $10,000 and Become a North Star

For thousands of years, people have looked to the North Star to direct, guide and lead them on their journey. It is the brightest star in the sky, and the only constant star in the sky. It doesn't appear to move or change its position. What better icon, then, to represent those people who are the foundation of AFSP's fundraising and their strongest supporters? The North Stars are our guiding lights

Bring the cause of suicide prevention to the forefront of awareness. You too can be a North Star for a world living in the dark about this cause, for the people who struggle with depression and desperately need help. We're asking you to do something truly bold - to set your fundraising goal at $10,000. It's an ambitious goal. But the fight to prevent suicide needs leaders. We need our North Stars.

Once you achieve the $10,000 fundraising goal*, you will receive:

• Invitation to a VIP reception with AFSP's Executive Director, Bob Gebbia, and/or other AFSP staff and board members
• Two night hotel stay at official Overnight hotel during the event**
• Recognition from the stage during the Overnight Opening or Closing Ceremony
• North Star Ball Cap
• Mention in the AFSP's Annual Report and websites
• Lead the way at the start and end of the Overnight walk
• And much more!

Top fundraisers will receive additional recognition and rewards:

• The top 10 fundraisers will have their name put on a plaque in AFSP's office in New York City.
• The top 5 fundraisers will be invited to attend the 2012 Annual Lifesavers Dinner as AFSP's special guests. Includes hotel stay for you and a guest, plus two tickets to the Annual Lifesavers Dinner.

To set your fundraising goal at $10,000 (or more!) and start shining your light, contact us at 888-TheOvernight or coaches@theovernight.org.

*Funds must be in your DonorDrive by June 1, 2011.
**Funds must be in your DonorDrive by May 4, 2011 to receive two night stay in hotel.
