Kemp Klein Sponsored Common Ground's 2024 Ride 2 End Suicide

The Ride 2 End Suicide is an annual bicycle ride fundraiser to raise money for suicide awareness, prevention, education and counseling. This Ride brings together survivors of suicide, their families, friends, supporters and local biking enthusiasts. The Ride is an opportunity to move for something that matters –whether that’s for health, recovery, or in memory of a loved one with the goal to raise money for life saving suicide prevention programs. Kemp Klein was the Finish Line Sponsor for the event.

The 2024 Ride 2 End Suicide took place Saturday, May 18th. The Ride 2 End Suicide was (up to) a 20-mile paved path throughout Stony Creek Metropark. The starting point was located at Capital Banquet Center in Washington, MI.

The Kemp Klein Foundation is a proud Legacy Society Benefactor for Common Ground. Kemp Klein has provided more than $200,000 in pro bono work to Common Ground. In addition to the pro bono work and financial contributions, we have hosted joint events for staff and clients of Common Ground, participated in Common Ground’s Adopt-A-Family initiative and we have held blanket making and other events to help those in need.
