We are incredibly grateful to Commonwealth Electric for their generous $25,000 gift to the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention, given in honor of one of their valued team members.

This act of compassion speaks volumes about the care they show not only for their employees, but for the broader community. Support like this helps fund critical research, education, advocacy, and support for those affected by su***de.

Thank you, Commonwealth Electric, for turning care into action and helping bring hope to so many. 💙
