The annual suicide awareness concert and fundraiser is coming back for another amazing night of music, drinks, helping great organizations, and celebrating and remembering our friends and family who are no longer with us. Suds Against Suicide is happening on Saturday, September 12th.

Suicide Affects Everyone

I’ve yet to meet someone whose life hasn’t been touched by suicide. Family members, friends, and family members of close friends. Even on a grander scale, with amazing lives like Robin Williams and Chris Cornell, who brought so much joy and passion to people’s lives.

Maybe even the person reading this now. If you need help, I know it’s been said, but it is so incredibly true: you are not alone, and there is help. Dial or text 9-8-8 or 988lifeline.org.

Suicide Awareness Fundraising Concert

Suds Against Suicide will be rocking the Yakima Valley on Saturday, September 12th at a new location this year, with Tieton Cider Works (619 W J Street in Yakima) hosting the fundraiser event.

Silent auction, raffle, tattoos with Cyclops Tattoo Shop (and temporary tattoos for the young and faint of heart) starting at 1 pm, and music kicking off at 4 pm with Travis Ryder, Doomed, Slow Goat, and Hippie Death Cult wrapping up the night!

EZ Eats will be there serving up some grub, along with other special vendors, and the specially created Rando Lager for the Suds Against Suicide event will be available.

How Much Does Suds Against Suicide Cost To Attend?

All are welcome, and it is free to come, but donations are greatly appreciated; it is a fundraiser after all.

“This year we will be donating to Rods House, Inner City Yakima Basketball Organization, and the Sunnyside Walk for Hope. A portion of the Rando sales will go to our foundation, along with all proceeds from the silent auction and raffle to then be distributed out to our charities of choice.”
– Jason Graham.
