September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and one local bar is helping this cause with a special kind of fundraiser: arm wrestling.
“It means a lot to me personally because there are several people in my life that have committed suicide, and so it does personally mean a lot to me to contribute to this,” said Scott Evans, a professional arm wrestler from Riverdale.
“I think that it helps a lot to bring more people to tournaments. Not many people know about arm wrestling, that it is an organized sport all over the world," said Kody Merritt, who is from Cache Valley and has been arm wrestling for over 20 years."An activity like this helps bring people and make them aware of arm wrestling, and we can bring arm wrestlers to help with the legacy group.
People could write messages of love and encouragement on a memory wall and donate to the cause. Judy Bezoski and her husband, Don, started Legacy when their son died by suicide at age 18. This event helps them help more people.
