(Airs 5/15/2026) In this episode of Good Deeds, host Nanette Wiser talks with Hannah Hayes about this Sunday May 17th Pinellas County Paws for Prevention 2026 event to raise awareness about suicide prevention during May's Mental Health Awareness Month. Hannah lost her father to suicide a few years ago and started this non-profit. Says Hayes: This is going to be an event that is dog-friendly, of course, but you don't have to have a dog to attend, but we are celebrating how our fur babies really help us with our mental health, because May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It is a fundraiser for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. There will be a short dog walk in Largo's Central Park and a doggy costume contest with the theme, "dress to inspire hope. There will be vendors and fun prizes." Pinellas County Paws for Prevention is a fundraising event to help raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in the efforts of critical research, education programs, advocacy, and support for those affected by suicide.This is a free event, please register at www.afsp.org/PinellasPaws$20 raised will get you a Paws for Prevention Bandana$100 raised will get you a Paws for Prevention ShirtTop fundraising team will lead the Pet Parade WalkMeet up at the Largo Central Park Shelter #2 near the Largo Library.
