To raise awareness of suicide prevention, The Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation’s 2022 Light the Trail cycling event will include an 1800 mile journey down the Mississippi valley - from Lake Itasca, Minnesota to New Orleans, Louisiana. Cyclists plan to blaze a new trail of hope and bring about conversations along the route that will educate, inspire, and encourage discussion. To help further that effort, the leadership of The Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation (JEHF) reached out to Project Partners for help with the coordination of these “Let’s Talk” meet and greet outreach events.
Using the outreach data collected to date, we will work to make connections in each desired location to identify a champion host and conversation-starter, plus set the logistics for the sites, allowing The JEHF staff and volunteer team to focus on the media relations, fundraising, and ride details. This will be our third assignment with The JEHF, following the facilitation of a strategic planning board retreat and a staff work session which focused on team strengths and virtual office efficiencies.
Too many of us have lost loved ones to suicide. The Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation provides suicide prevention training and education for children and adults, as well as depression research funding. Please consider supporting their mission today!
