Teams Open to Solo Walkers
**If you're a team captain willing to take on "solos," a solo walker looking to participate with a great group of people, or if you're just looking to connect with other walkers (team or individual) prior to the 2013 Out of the Darkness Overnight, please contact Laura.Brett@theovernight.org or 888-TheOvernight (888-843-6837).**
One of the most unique and powerful aspects of the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk is the sense of community present when participants from all across the country unite with the common goal of breaking the silence surrounding suicide and mental health. Joining a team can enhance your Overnight experience by introducing you to new people so that you can begin forming bonds before the Walk even begins. We have several teams listed below that are open to welcoming solo walkers this year. These teams are listed according to the hometown of the Team Captain only; often times, many of the team members are located in various cities and states, so if you don't see one in your geographic location, contact the Teams Coordinator for help.
If you see a team you'd like to join, would like more information, or have any questions about teams, please contact the Teams Coordinator, Laura Brett, at Laura.Brett@theovernight.org, or call 888-843-6837.
