Dear Mrs. Whitman,
I am writing to ask for you to approval to hold the first Emerald Coast Out of the Darkness Community Walk at
John Beasley Park on November 16th 2013. The Out of the Darkness Community Walks take place in over 275
communities across the country each fall. The proceeds benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
(AFSP). Our goal is to create more awareness, honor loved ones, and raise funds for research, education, and
advocacy.
After the event, up to 50% of the net proceeds will be available for use in the local community for AFSP-
approved programs, establishing a chapter, retaining staff or other AFSP-approved activities. The remaining
50% will be used to fund national research, advocacy, and development of new education and survivor
programs.
I have attached the required paperwork. We had spoke about needing approval from the Jackson Guard as part
of the walk will take place on their property, I contacted them at 850-882-7787 and was told that we would not
need any permits or approval from them as long as we are not walking in the sand dunes and not using their
beach entrance by the Destin Bridge. I will be mailing you the original Hold Harmless Agreement as well as the
check for the deposit and fees.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Tina Nystrand
Location: John Beasley Park, 1550 Miracle Strip Parkway, Fort Walton Beach
