The Be Aware Walk is a community event that is intended to raise awareness of teen suicide and send the message there is always help and hope.

School won't be in session, but the Dakota High School campus will still be one of the busiest places in Macomb Township Saturday.

Once again the school is hosting the Be Aware Walk for Suicide Prevention, an annual 5K held to benefit the Chippewa Valley Coalition for Youth and Families and KnowResolve, a suicide prevention organization based in Clinton Township.

The walk is held each year to raise awareness of teen suicide and send the message that there is always help and hope to those in need. Proceeds raised during the event support awareness and prevention programs offered locally through KnowResolve and the Chippewa Valley Coalition.
