MAY 7, 2016 – Darkness into Light 5k Walk/Run

Darkness into Light 2016

Don’t forget to register for Pieta House’s second annual Darkness into Light 5k walk/run: Gaelic park & Corona Park/Flushing Meadows.

Darkness into Light has become an iconic walk that started in Dublin, Ireland and has now turned into a global response. This symbolic 5k walk begins at 4am – while it is still dark and finishes just as the dawn is rising. This reflects the service we offer in Pieta House, we help people who are distressed or in crisis – and bring them from their darkness into the light. This wonderful, unique experience is for everyone.. men, women and children and makes a very strong statement – firstly that we need to walk together in the fight against suicide and secondly it offers us an opportunity to walk for a loved one who has died by suicide and allow us the beginning of an healing process.

New Leadership Program for Irish Women Living in the Greater New York Tri-State Area

Leadership & Executive Acceleration Program (LEAP)™ is a professional development and leadership program designed for Irish and Irish-American women living in the Greater New York/Tri-State area. Program members may be professionals, entrepreneurs, or at any other stage in their career.

Women are underrepresented in higher-level corporate positions, and most women have limited access to development programs that empower female leadership. With support from the Irish government, the Irish International Business Network (IIBN) developed this program to provide women with opportunities to encourage the advancement of their career objectives and personal growth. We encourage Irish and Irish-American from the Irish community in the Greater New York area to apply.
