Beyond broadening the mental health conversation, Audacy has raised over $2 million in support of national and local organizations by collaborating with partners like AFSP on events and experiences, including the upcoming annual We Can Survive concert, starring Ed Sheeran, Goo Goo Dolls, Alex Warren, and Shaboozey at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Friday, September 26. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit AFSP and their life-saving work of delivering education, loss support, advocacy efforts and community-based programs, including their ongoing public service campaign, “Talk Away the Dark,” which raises awareness of how to spot the warning signs for suicide and having real conversations that connect people to help.
