Since 2017, Stevens has partnered annually with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to host the Hoboken community Out of the Darkness Walk. The goal of the walk is to inspire hope, foster awareness, and raise funds to support AFSP in their bold goal to drastically reduce the nation’s annual suicide rate. The 2024 walk at Stevens raised over $60,000 towards suicide prevention research, education and advocacy.
2025 Out of the Darkness Walk
