Poppy's Run For Life

About the Event

To honor those who have died by suicide and those who are forever affected by suicide, the 5th annual Poppy's Run For Life will be held on Sunday, April 4, 2027.

All proceeds from the row will be donated to the suicide prevention and awareness programs and services at Alexander JFS and the Montrose Center and one other non-profit organization (to be determined).

Poppy’s Run for Life is recognized as a 501(c) 3 charity by the IRS.

Caryn Honig is the founder and director of Poppy's Run For Life. Caryn's father and grandfather both died by suicide, forever changing her life as well as the lives of family, friends and loved ones. They are not alone. Suicide is on the rise and is a leading cause of death in the US with 45,979 deaths in 2020. This is about one death every 11 minutes. The number of people who attempt or think about suicide is even higher. Suicide affects the health and well-being of surviving family, friends, co-workers, loved ones and the community.

Please join in supporting the efforts to increase prevention, education and awareness so that those suffering with a mental illness will seek help.

About Houston

Houston is a sprawling port city in Southeastern Texas. An oil boom and continuing international immigration has brought explosive growth to the city, and it is now the fifth largest metropolitan area in the United States and the most diverse large city since 2021. While at first glance, the city appears to be a 9-5 central business district surrounded by a sea of suburbs and strip malls, there are many hidden gems to be discovered.
