Armed Forces Mission provides Donors, Volunteers, and Advocates the organization they require to eradicate suicide and transform lives. We provide direct intervention for individuals  within the Veteran and Law Enforcement Community and training for people from all walks of life through AFM's Training Division; the Intervention Institute.

Suicide takes more than 43,000 lives a year in the US. A disproportional amount of losses occurs in the veteran community.

Sigma Nu Kappa Chapter UNG-Dahlongega's philanthropy is AFM. They will be collecting the donations and will be at the race volunteering.
