A Common Cause
We are a charitable organization building awareness around suicide loss and preserving the memory of Ben. We hold annual events (listed below) in Massachusetts aimed at amplifying the generous support of our South Shore community.
As we close out our fiscal year and prepare to make disbursements to other organizations such as, but not limited to, the Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors and Autism Speaks, we are still accepting donations @BDDF18 or
through our AFSP team page listed below.
