87.7 MeTVFM & Timeless and Memorable Songs that Lift Your Spirits

87.7 MeTVFM wants you to share a timeless and memorable song and why it lifts your spirit for a chance to have a $25 donation to the Out of the Darkness Walk in YOUR NAME!

Submit your song and why that lifts your spirits (in 144 characters or less) for your chance to win!

Suicide takes more lives than war, murder, and natural disasters combined, and yet suicide prevention does not receive anywhere near the funding given to other leading causes of death. The Out of the Darkness Walks bring together hundreds of thousands of people who are bridging that gap by raising the money needed to save lives while creating a culture that's smart about mental health.

Join a quarter of a million people from hundreds of cities across all 50 states to raise awareness and funds that will save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. The core of the Out of the Darkness Walks, the Community Walks created a movement. Held in hundreds of cities across the country, they give people the courage to open up about their own struggle or loss, and the platform to change our culture’s approach to mental health.
