Sowing Seeds of Hope Concert - Georgia

The SAM Foundation, a nonprofit that focuses on suicide prevention through public awareness and education, is hosting its third annual fundraiser concert at Matilda's Under the Pines in Milton, GA, on Saturday, August 3, 2024. The Ultimate Bon Jovi Tribute Band, Slippery When Wet, will perform many of Bon Jovi's biggest hits, and comedian Jamie Bendall will open the event. All proceeds from the concert will directly fund suicide prevention educational programming in the Milton and Alpharetta areas. Recently, the SAM Foundation provided suicide prevention training to 130 Milton Firefighters. The mission of the SAM Foundation is to equip our communities with the skills to intervene in a suicidal crisis. Our hope is to change the way our communities view mental health and serve as a resource to those who have been affected by suicide, therefore making our communities more suicide safe. The SAM Foundation believes all members of communities play a vital role in suicide prevention. Through our evidence-based training programs, the SAM Foundation reaches a variety of community members, corporate groups, educators, first responders and mental health professionals. The SAM Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3, that provides evidence-based training programs to many GA community organizations and professionals such as Chris180, Summit Counseling Center, and Cobb Collaborative. The SAM Foundation organizes public events that bring together individuals from all walks of life to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues. These events serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of dialogue, empathy, and community support in preventing suicide. These events generate significant resources that have been utilized towards our mission of preventing suicide and providing much-needed support to those affected by it.
