Team Tackett

Support Team Tackett in the New York City Overnight

Team Tackett will be joining thousands of others who will be walking from dusk till dawn to bring hope to those affected by suicide and raise funds to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Learn more about AFSP here.

Team Tackett was established in 2006 as Dennis and Chris Tackett walked in their first Overnight event (in Chicago) following the 2005 suicide of their son Jeff. Dennis and Chris have participate every year since then. But this year is different, as Dennis passed away on February 28, 2025 from a very aggressive and treatment resistant form of acute myeloid leukemia. As a result, this year’s Team Tackett is also raising funds In Memory of Dennis Tackett, who has been very dedicated to AFSP’s mission and programs for the past 20 years.

Each team member is required to fundraise to participate in The Overnight. To donate online, please choose a team member who has not reached $1,000 by clicking “Roster” above and then clicking on their name. Once on their fundraising page you can click the “Donate” button. Your donations will help support our team in the fight against suicide. You can only donate to an individual on the team, but every donation to one of our team members counts toward our team’s overall fundraising goal! All donations are tax deductible.
