Poppy's Run for Life

Our mission is to honor our loved ones who have died by suicide and to raise funds and awareness about suicide and mental health resources.  We bring communities together, reduce stigmas, and support and love.  All proceeds will go to two chosen organizations that offer suicide prevention and awareness.

All proceeds from the run will be donated to the suicide prevention and awareness programs and services at Jewish Family Services and the Montrose Center.

Caryn Honig is the founder and director of Poppy's Run For Life.  Caryn's father and grandfather both died by suicide, forever changing her life as well as the lives of family, friends and loved ones.  They are not alone.  Suicide is on the rise and is a leading cause of death in the US with 45,979 deaths in 2020.  This is about one death every 11 minutes.  The number of people who attempt or think about suicide is even higher.  Suicide affects the health and well-being of surviving family, friends, co-workers, loved ones and the community.

Please join in supporting the efforts to increase prevention, education and awareness so that those suffering with a mental illness will seek help.

Poppy’s Run for Life is recognized as a 501(c) 3 charity by the IRS.
