  2. If you or someone you know can not join the event as a registrant, simply donate to PPSPP to support our ongoing community efforts. 
  3. Have a local business you’d like to promote? Become a sponsor of the Race Against Suicide and not only advertise yourself, but support a non-profit along the way.
