Break The Silence 5K Returns To ConVal May 28

The fourth annual Break the Silence 5k run/walk for suicide prevention awareness will be held at ConVal Regional High School on Sunday, May 28, 2023.

The event was co-founded by seniors Abbey Shumway and Callie Boisvert and this year raises money for the Avenue A Teen Center and its mental health-related programs to benefit teenagers in the ConVal communities. 

The event will include a bake sale, speeches, and beaded nametags that participants can wear to represent mental health struggles. Participants can either walk or run the course.
