OXFORD – Team Chenango for Suicide Prevention and Awareness will host its third annual Out of the Darkness Golf Tournament at noon on May 5 at the Bluestone Golf Course in Oxford.
On June 1, the team of nine walkers will make its way to Washington, DC for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Out of the Darkness Walk, trekking a total of 18 miles between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. This will be the fourth Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk for Team Chenango member Danielle Williamson, who has participated once on her own - in Boston - as well as in San Francisco and New York City with Team Chenango.
“All of us have lost someone,” said Williamson. “I lost my dad twelve years ago, others have lost brothers, friends ... it hits close to home for many people.”
The golf tournament on May 5 will help to raise funds for the team to participate in the walk.
