The walk was initiated in 2021 by a Pasadena Police Officer whose patrol partner died by suicide and who was spurred by his loss to effect positive change. The same year, the Pasadena Police Department H.O.P.E. Team and Wellness Unit hosted the First Annual First Responder Suicide Awareness Walk. The goal of this walk was to create great awareness around suicide and first responders. After discussion and collaboration, the goals for the walk grew with an emphasis on an opportunity to bridge the gap between community and first responders. This approach gives all affected by suicide the opportunity to stand together as we build awareness.
Walk In Remembrance Wed., Sept. 13, 2023 8:00 am to 12:00 pm Walk begins at 8:30 am Location Rose Bowl Stadium, Lot H
