 Yellow Ribbon Event for Life!


“Dear participants, we at SPS deeply apologize for the inconvenience of rescheduling this event. The large amounts of rainfall in our area resulted in closures of all park district facilities on that day. We now ask that you all attend the Yellow Ribbon Event for Life on Saturday October 4th. Here’s hoping that it won’t rain on our parade. See you there!”

Thank you for showing interest in SPS’ Yellow Ribbon Event for Life! If you’re looking for more information you’re in the right place, but if you’re ready to sign up, don’t hesitate to use the link or phone number listed below!

You and your loved ones (be they friends or family) are using this event as an opportunity to come together and honor the memory of those who have been lost to suicide. At the same time, we are coming together to bring awareness, optimism, and hope to our community as well as funds to Suicide Prevention Services, allowing us to continue preventing future losses in our families and in our communities.

This fundraising Event is structured as a walk that will start at the Pottawatomie Park Pavilion in St. Charles (see map at bottom of page). During registration, which is from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM participants will be welcome to enjoy some live music, the beautiful park, the view of the river, and morning treats (like coffee and doughnuts). The walkers will progress along the Fox River to Fabyan Park (where the big windmill is) and then turn around and return to Pottawatomie Park for lunch. There will be rest stops and water stations along the route and shuttles in case anyone needs it. Tricoustic will be performing back at the pavilion during lunch.

As a participant, we hope that you would be able to get friends, family, and anyone else to personally sponsor you as a walker, contributing funds for the cause of suicide prevention. In addition, we seek business sponsorships. Businesses can receive different benefits depending on the size of the business donation. If you know of a business that may be interested in this opportunity to show their active support for the community, contact our administrative line to have any additional questions answered.

If you know this is where you belong, bringing friends and family together in support and service, SIGN UP NOW! If you’re not sure, sign up anyway. Fundraise to be there, have a good time, and see how you like it.

Be prepared to Walk - Ride - or Rock along the Fox River in September! Thank you for helping us out and proving that you’re here for life!
