Suicide is the second leading cause of death in the US for people ages 15 – 34, and Vermont’s suicide rate is higher than the national average.
Project Hoeppner was created to increase awareness around the catastrophe that is teen suicide and offer courage for teens to say “I need help” and for their loved ones to hear it. The goal of sponsored events is to create opportunities for teens, loved ones and the community to connect and communicate honestly with each other…without judgement.

Paul Hoeppner was an enthusiastic teammate and dear friend of mine. He loved to row and helped foster the welcoming environment the CVU rowing team is today. Please consider donating to me, or my team as we spread all the love, joy, and a bit of humor Paul brought to the sport :)
