Hey all - I am currently participating in a charity to raise money for suicide awareness, and am looking to help folks in game in exchange for a small donation. I ran a similar type of thing last summer and was able to raise over $250 from diablo players I was able to reach through this website. - please note - I received approval from the mods before posting this thread.
This fundraiser is for NA servers, Softcore, Seasons..
Please read below for some FAQ on this...
1. Is this a scam.
-google 'overnight walk' - it should be the first thing that comes up. check it out for yourself before donating (as you should do with any charity)
2. What charity is this? How do I donate
This is a charity to raise awareness for suicide prevention. It is an overnight 16 mile walk that will take place in Washington DC on June 17th.
- I have come across far too many people in my travels that have either considered it, been impacted by it, or whom I have lost forever because of it This charity is about spreading awareness to help fight this problem.
6. The journey so far...
- last time around in NYC - I was able to raise $1,109.00 - due in large part to contributions made by diablo members. Even though it did end up pouring rain the entire time - the entire event went of great.
- my first donation received this time around - a surprising $100 - was given by a fellow diablo player.. who is now considering signing up for the San Diego walk themselves!
- there is quite a bit of time before the event... and while I will not spam message boards with this, I will periodically check in with some progress updates.
Thanks for your time,
Any further questions, please feel free to private message me on here.

Have you bothered looking this up at all? Or did you just assume that this is a scam without doing the 30 seconds of research I asked. The problem is with you - as you are going to turn people away from a legitimate cause.

As someone who has contemplated suicide in the past i thank you for your drive to help people get the help they need. I was 6 years airforce and in my fifth year went manic(I'll spare you the details). I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder which is a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar. I've thought about suicide 4 times now but someone(the big man upstairs) was watching out for me and I never went through with it. People who commit suicide are usually suffering from some form of mental illness that has never been treated or that has made them give up hope for a quick way out of the hardship that medication brings or other types of hardships that come from mental illness.
I know firsthand that life with a mental disorder is super difficult to cope with and thank you again for help making people who suffer this way a ray of hope for the future. Thank you, nick.
Foensh - While the links you provided are great, please use the ones I posted to donate as i'm trying to reach my goal of $1000. Thank you for the tip though - it has been well received and I updated the original post with a bit more info.

I sent you a private message, as I am trying to keep this civilized. Please contact a moderator for yourself to check on the validity of this, or google it. It is very easy to find information about this charity. Honestly, it is faster for you to verify this, then it is to post baseless accusations.

I think that what you are doing is amazing. You are offering help on PC Seasonal? It truly shows that gamers care and are a great contribution to society as i see this more and more lately.
I would love to assist you in this, perhaps I could take care of the Xbox One Softcore Seasonal crowd if they want to contribute. I can offer any assistance needed to anyone and they could donate to your charity efforts.
Yup i'm on SC seasonal (but can also help out on SC nonseason if needed). Thanks for pitching in m8!

I'm available to help today through Wed and can help as long as you need into the future if you have additional charities. Add me to your post and I'll be glad to help on Xbox One Softcore Seasonal and anyone I help can donate to your cause. My Xbox tag is IPOI ORION
Thanks in large part to the diablo community, I was able to well exceed the initial goal (were at $1,318 now).
I'm still available to help (esp this upcoming holiday week) if anyone needs. *remember, i will help you no matter what. whether you donate anything at all is entirely up to you.
