Our Impact So Far This Year
As we approach the second half of the year, it feels like a good time to reflect on the impact the Brian Dagle Foundation has had in the first half of 2025. It continues to amaze me how many people walk through the door at Healing Hearts or call, looking for opportunities to learn more about grief or suicide awareness. We are honored that so many of you would trust us with the most tender parts of your grief and loss and how every single one of you, in your own way, has contributed to making this place a safe and comfortable place for people to come.
Since January, we have had:
- 583 people attend regular support groups (an average of 97 per month)
- 112 people participate in closed or special support groups (an average of 18 per month)
- 92 people joined us for special events (an average of 15 per month)
- 150 people came to an educational event (an average of 25 mer month)
- 104 inquiries of people looking for grief support (an average of 17 per month)
- 12+ volunteers helped support community events in schools, at suicide prevention walks, and in our Healing Garden
It is hard to believe that we get to be part of the journeys of so many of you and we are forever grateful for the ways you help make this work possible. We couldn’t do it without the time, donations, and participation you so generously offer.
If you haven’t had the chance to join us for a support group or special event, I encourage you to check out our event calendar. Coming in September, we have two special events with world-renowned grief educator Dr. Alan Wolfelt, our golf tournament later in the fall, and the Niantic Jingle 5k, our biggest fundraiser of the year. I hope to see you at one of these events or that you come to visit our facility, Brian’s Healing Hearts, and learn more about the lives that are being impacted.
Grateful,
Ann Dagle
