FailSafe for Life is a Spokane non-profit with the mission to help prevent and ultimately end suicide in our community. This event allows the funds to provide area trainings and education to professionals, parents, and community members. We focus on suicide prevention, warning signs, and resources through community involvement. Education and training is vital in order to save lives.

The Spring for Hope Anniversary Auction kicks off on Monday April 21st at 8:00 AM with a virtual silent auction.

Join us in creating cards for our community! At this event, we will come together to write messages of hope, overcoming difficulty, and resilience for those struggling with their mental health or having thoughts of suicide. Light refreshments will be provided, all ages are welcome.
There are several ways to participate! You are welcome to write cards with us at the event, drop off cards with messages already in them, or mail your cards to us. Once complete, these cards will be delivered to local hospitals for patients receiving care for their mental health, as well as youth, elder adults, active duty service members/veterans, and domestic violence survivors who are facing mental health challenges.
​
Some Pro Tips! Please do not seal your envelopes so organizations can ensure the message is appropriate for each recipient. If you are mailing in or dropping off your cards, please note who you had in mind when creating this card so we can ensure it is delivered to who you intended.
