"Champions of Hope and Healing"
Fresno SOS is gearing up for our 25th Anniversary Luncheon Celebration to be held on Wednesday, May 26th from 11:30am-1:30pm at Pardinis on West Shaw!
We invite you to join us for a very exciting opportunity to celebrate the many accomplishments Fresno SOS has made since our grassroots beginning in 1985 when founders Dick and Sandy Gallagher lost their son, David, to suicide.
At this event, Fresno SOS will take a moment to reflect and recognize our longterm supporters, volunteers, past and present Board of Directors and Advisory Board Members, and to present the David J. Gallagher Community Service Award to two very deserving community members.
In addition, we are extremely honored and excited to have author of "My Son My Son" and grief therapist Iris Bolton attend this event as our keynote speaker. Iris is a continued supporter of suicide prevention --continuing in her involvement on a local community level as well as on the national level by her participation in the American Association of Suicidology, Suicide Prevention Action Network USA, National Counsel for Suicide Prevention, etc.
We hope to see you there! |
