Afterglow can be described the way the sky looks just after a sunset. When the sun slips below the horizon, and its final warm rays light up the sky. Afterglow is the brilliant and surprising shades of pink, orange, red, and purple. Even though the sun is no longer visible, its impact is breathtaking, much like the warm memories of someone we have lost.
The Afterglow Foundation is a non-profit organization created by the family of AJ Holzscheiter. In 2020 Geri Barrows, also impacted by suicide, joined the Afterglow team to assist us in turning tragic loss into a legacy to help families avoid the pain of and to gain awareness and prevent suicide. Additionally, Afterglow aims to create, provide and educate parents, educators and coaches on how to talk to our kids about suicide.
Afterglow partners with Northwestern Counseling and Support Services and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Both NCSS and the AFSP will be onsite for Afterglow and will be presenting content during the show.
Proceeds from Afterglow will go to the programs below:
