Spearheaded by Peer Leader, Felicity Weir, and eight LCCTC students volunteered at the Suicide Prevention Walk at the Downtown
Riverwalk on September 16, 2017.
“We were the only kid volunteers,” Felicity
stated.
Students helped pass out water bottles to walkers who were there to show support to family and friends who have lost a loved one to suicide.
Any time someone returned from their walk, our students rang the cowbell to support the walkers and to honor the memory of those who have left our world in such sorrow-filled circumstances.

“Other organizations were there to support the
cause,” she continued, “and they asked if they could enlist more students to
volunteer for other events in the future.”
Our students helped with the setup and cleanup for supporting organizations including the Crisis Shelter, the Veterans Association, and UPMC Jameson.

LCCTC is proud of our students and the work they
do to help in the community.
Felicity stated, “There was a woman in tears who
hugged me; she had lost a daughter about my age. It made me feel good to be there for her.”
