C.A.R.E.S. Suicide Prevention is proud to announce the merging of THREE great events into one Extravaganza!
The "Original" Cape Coral Bullyride will start at the German American Club at 10 am and follow a route* through Cape Coral.
The Survivors Stepping Out 5k Walk will start behind Dixie Roadhouse in Club Square, leaving at 10 am and follow this path.
And it will all culminate with the C.A.R.E.S. for Heroes appreciation/awareness concert at Dixie Roadhouse.
America C.A.R.E.S. about Bullying focuses on anti-bullying awareness among our youth. The Survivors Stepping Out 5k walk allows those who have lost a loved one to suicide to remember and raise awareness to save lives. C.A.R.E.S. for Heroes honors our veterans, active duty military, and first responders while raising awareness of PTSD among these brave heroes.
We invite you to join us for this Extravaganza!

We ask participants to wear PURPLE to support C.A.R.E.S. Some have worn dedication style shirts in the past. Bring signs to carry that contain statistics about suicide loss (AFSP , Save , National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) or message of rememberance. Arrive early to talk with others and C.A.R.E.S. representatives. We will have a bead table set up where you can choose a corresponding color to your loss. Find support, give support. The walk will conclude just before the arrival of the motorcycles. PLEASE! Stay and welcome the bikes and enjoy the FREE concert at Dixie to support our heroes.
