Layups for Life '10

Suicide is the third leading cause of death for teens. In fact, one in five Ohio high school students seriously considers suicide. That means that approximately five members of your high school basketball team may have suicidal thoughts.

You and your team can make a difference with your Ohio High School Athletic Association Service Week game! Layups for Life™ - Let’s Prevent Youth Suicide Together, offers your team the opportunity to raise funds for a great cause, and one that directly affects the students’ young lives.

Suicide Prevention Education Alliance (SPEA) has partnered with the Cleveland Cavaliers to bring you Layups for Life™ - Let’s Prevent Youth Suicide Together. In addition to the lives saved with the help of your fundraising efforts, your team can earn:

  1. FREE TICKETS TO A CAVS GAME!
  2. Opportunity to HIGH FIVE THE CAVS PLAYERS
  3. Opportunity for the CAVS GIRLS TO VISIT YOUR HOME BASKETBALL GAME

    In most cases, the depression that so often precedes suicide is both recognizable and treatable.
